You're Not Drinking Enough Lyrics


I can see that you haven't recovered from the girl who let you down
And you'd sell what is left of your soul for another go round
You keep telling yourself she means nothing
And maybe you should call her bluff
But you don't really believe it
You must not be drinking enough
Well the perfume she wore you can buy down at the Five and Dime
But on some other woman it don't smell the same in your mind
You keep telling yourself you can take it
Telling yourself that you're tough
But you still wanna hold her
You must not be drinkin' enough
You're not drinkin' enough to wash away old memories
And there ain't enough whiskey in Texas
To keep you from begging, please, please, please
She passed on you passion and stepped on you pride
Turns out you ain't quite so tough
'Cause you still wanna hold her

You must not be drinkin' enough
Ask yourself why
You still wanna hold
You must not be drinkin' enough
You still wanna hold her
You must not be drinkin' enough
You still wanna hold her
You must not be drinkin' enough

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Don Henley (born Donald Hugh Henley in Gilmer, Texas, USA on 22 July 1947) is drummer, singer, and songwriter with the band Eagles. Since the 80s he has had a successful solo career and has played a founding role in several causes.

In 1970, he moved to Los Angeles to record an album with his early band, Shiloh. Shiloh's album was produced by fellow Texan Kenny Rogers. Shortly thereafter, Henley met Glenn Frey. They both became members of Linda Ronstadt's backup band. Touring with her was the catalyst for forming the group. As a result, two months later they, along with Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner, became their own act, Eagles.

Henley's music is often social commentary. One of his more famous songs is "Dirty Laundry" (from his I Can't Stand Still album, released in 1982). Its origins date back to 1980, when Henley was put on probation for possession of a narcotic and fined for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The ensuing media circus and on-air pundits claiming that his career was over led to the writing of the song, which continues to be an indictment against the broadcast news media. Similarly, "Johhny Can't Read" (also from the Can't Stand Still album), continues to resound as a commentary on the educational system.
