Drinkin’ Thing

[Verse 1]
Every day, I tell myself it's temporary
It's only 'cause she's young, makes her want another man
Even though she makes me feel unnecessary
I've found a way to make me understand

[Chorus]
I've got this drinkin' thing
To keep from thinkin' things
Like where you been, who you 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

[Verse 2]
If I wait 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 feelin' helpless
And I wonder just how long a man can last

[Chorus]
I've got this drinkin' thing
To keep from thinkin' things
Like where you been, who you 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

[Outro]
I've got this drinkin' thing
Oh, to keep from thinkin' things
'Bout where you been, who you been with
And what you've done
