Gary Stewart - Drinkin' Thing lyrics

Every day I tell myself it's temporary That it's only 'cause she's young that makes her want another man Even though she makes me feel unnecessary I've found a way to help me understand I've got this drinkin' thing To keep from thinkin' things About where you've been, who you've been with and what you've done And it's a lonely thing But it's the only thing To keep a foolish man in love hangin' on If I wait up at home, I'll only ask her questions She'd probably the truth, so I don't even ask So, I sit here on this barstool, feeling helpless And I wonder just how long a man can last I've got this drinkin' thing To keep from thinkin' things About where you've been, who you've been with and what you've done And it's a lonely thing But it's the only thing To keep a foolish man in love hangin' on I've got this drinkin' thing To keep from thinkin' things About where you've been, who you've been with and what you've done
