Only come here once a day at hurtin' time
Payday, Charley knows I'm good for every dime
And I ease up on the barstool where I ease my pain
I'm just strong enough to face that lonely night again
Oh, the power
The powers of drinking
And it's fooling all of my native thinking
And it hurts so good
I never notice the sinking
Thanks a lot to positive drinking
Well, Charley always let me take a bottle home
After all, a man he can't fake it when he's all alone
And when the whiskey's talking
I can't hear your memory
Cause a little drinking drowns out a lot of you and me
Oh, the power
The powers of drinking
And it's fooling all of my native thinking
And it hurts so good
I never notice the sinking
Thanks a lot to positive drinking
Thanks a lot to positive drinking
