Lyrics
V1
I'm sittin' here drinking away your memory.
Wondering why you walked away from me.
You never told me that one day you'd go.
And now I know how much you really mean to me
And here I go, first thing I grab last thing I need.
Refrain
Why why, little darlin' do you make me cry?
I keep looking for the brighter side while I'm drinkin'.
V2
I never considered myself a drinking man.
I know that whiskey won't bring me back your hand.
But it helps ease the pain that hurts me so.
Now I know how much you really mean to me
And here I go, first thing I grab last thing I need.
Refrain
Why why why, little darlin' do you make me cry?
I keep looking for the brighter side while I'm drinkin'.
Can't you see little darlin' what you do to me
I keep thinking 'bout you constantly while I'm drinkin'.
And I been drinking.
Solo
Bridge
I been drinking and I know it's wrong but still I don't know how else to carry on.
Refrain
Why why why, little darlin' do you make me cry?
I keep looking for the brighter side while I'm drinkin'.
Can't you see little darlin' what you do to me
I keep thinking 'bout you constantly while I'm drinkin'.
