The Hitman Blues Band - Drinking My Blues Away lyrics

Well it's 2 a.m. at the bar again I bet your wonderin' where i've been I met this girl up on the avenue And she just reeled me in She took all my time, and my money And she left me yesterday So you'll excuse me, but i've got an awful lot to do You see, i'm drinking my blues away She never said she loved me She sort of took what she could find But she did some things i never even heard of She almost knocked me blind Now don't worry, i'm not crazy I knew it had to end some day I'm an upright, respected individual So i'll be drinking my blues away Now i believe that she is Gone for good Her note said that she hoped i understood ' cause fun is fun, but even good times end And a lady knows that cash can be her only friend So the guitars can start their laughing And that old harp can take it home I'm gonna drink to everybody's health Until i ruin my own So bartender, pour me a double I've found a place where i can stay You see, i've thought it out, and planned it all very carefully And i'm drinking my blues away Now don't expect me to weep and moan And sit there waiting by the telephone I know she's never gonna make that call Besides i tore it right off the wall So the guitars can start their laughing And that old harp can take it home I'm gonna drink to everybody's health Until i ruin my own So bartender, pour me a double I've found a place where i can stay You see, i've thought it out, and planned it all very carefully And i'm drinking my blues away
