Chorus:
I been drinkin' about you,
Don't know who to blame.
While I'm out here chasin' dreams,
You just think I'm playin' games
But that couldn't be further from the truth,
Someone drinkin' 100 proof.
No one calls me to check on me,
I miss you missin' me.
That's why I'm drinkin' about you,
Every day is the same
I just grab those reigns and make my way,
I'll try not to stray while ceasing the pain.
Verse 1:
I'm just sittin' at the bar, lettin' my heart bleed,
Thinkin' how in the hell could this happen to me
The say that I met you is like I captured a dream
But now my life's a nightmare, this ain't the way it should be
How could I be your star, how could this be so hard?
How could you be so hard to cut me and leave me scars?
I'm all alone at the bar, thinkin' about the days
It's making me fall apart, my life should be on stage
and keeping the bills paid and thinkin' bout my family,
I'm tryin' to provide, I guess it's just the man in me
On the brink of insanity, sittin', thinkin', and drinkin'
Why couldn't you just stand by me instead of you just leavin'
Didn't have a good reason and that's not what we talked about
Instead of you just walkin' out we should've stopped and talked it out
What was you talkin' bout, when we was at your mama's house
I'm so confused bartender please send another out.
Repeat Chorus
Verse 2:
It shouldn't be a surprise, you knew what you was in for
Early mornings, long days, late nights, long tours
And I'm a long horn I even moved to Tennesee
Another shot of Hennessy so I can drown the memories
I hope that you remember me so I don't hurt alone
Tired of fightin' on the phone, we broke up a happy home
And what about the baby, that's something we failed to mention
Another piece of me missin', you shoulda shut up and listened
I miss the lullabys puttin' my youngin' to sleep,
Now I can't even see her, that's another reason to drink
You say that I'm never there, I say that you outta touch
You say that I never care and told me I drink too much
I think that you outta line whenever you say whatever
And yeah, I think you lying so it's cool, it's whatever
Keep thinkin' what your thinkin', keep thinkin' that I'm cheatin'
But girl you're dead wrong, that's the reason that I'm drinkin'
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3:
As I order me a triple, my tears start to triple
Standin' at the wishin' well, I'm down to my last nickel
A sad song in the juke box, a tear in my beer
I'm still cryin' for you dear, and wishin' that you was here
Still glued to the bar stool, fumblin' my glass
Thumpin' my empty mug like it's a thing of the past
Everytime I get a text I'm still hopin' that it's you
And baby I'm so confused like maybe we ain't through
Slammin' my last drink cause this is the last call
Still checkin' on my phone and hopin' for missed calls
At the bottom of my drink, this is my last chance
They're playin' the last song and this is the last dance
Repeat Chorus
