Drinkin' Me Lonely

I'm pushing you away each time I pull up that ole barstool
And drownin' you in every drop I drink
I'm telling you to go to hell but I'm talking to myself
'Cause you're not around to hear what I think
I'm trying to teach my heart to hate you
But it ain't workin' right
Now the truth is I'm only drinkin' me lonely tonight
Lord, it's more than just thirsty that I'm feeling inside
'Cause these tears I've been crying have left me bone dry
I wish the bartender had a cure I could buy
But the truth is I'm only, drinkin' me lonely tonight

He said I'd have to choose between your love and this old bar room
And I just laughed, but I guess you knew best
Who cares whose right or wrong tonight, my better half is gone
And this whisky's laying claim to all that's left
So I'll just order up another and pretend I'm all right
When the truth is I'm only drinkin' me lonely tonight
And lord, it's more than just thirsty that I'm feeling inside
'Cause these tears I've been crying have left me bone dry
And I wish the bartender had a cure I could buy
But the truth is I'm only drinkin' me lonely tonight
