Let me play the jukebox, I got a need I need to nurse
Nothing lovey dovey that only makes it worse
She hurt me for the last time, no more doing me wrong
Now all I want to hear is some drinkin’songs
Something by Hank, you can’t forget ol’ Merle
Give me all the ones about a two timing girl
The truth of her lies is fin’ly hitting home
And I gotta have a shot of some drinkin’ songs
(chs)
As long as I have this aching misery
And the weight of the pain puts me on my knees
As long as it’s over as long as she’s gone
I’m gonna need some drinkin’ songs
Ain’t nothing like silence to make you really hear
A lonely slamming door and the sound of a falling tear
But I won’t cave in, I’m gonna stay strong
‘cause I’ll get a lot of help from those drinkin songs
(chs)
