I'm pushin' you away each time,
I pull up that ol' bar stool
Drownin' you in every drop I drink
Tellin' you to go to hell,
But I'm talkin' to myself,
'Cause you're not around to hear what I think
I'm tryin' to teach my heart to hate you,
But it ain't workin' right
Now the truth is I'm only,
Drinkin' me lonely tonight
An' Lord, it's more than just thirsty,
That I'm feelin' inside,
'Cause these tears I've been cryin',
Have left me bone dry
I wish the bartender,
Had a cure I could buy
But the truth is I'm only,
Drinkin' me lonely tonight
You said I'd have to choose
Between your love an' this ol' bar-room:
I just laughed, but I guess you knew best
Who cares who's right or wrong?
Tonight my better half is gone,
An' this whiskey's layin' claim to all that's left
So I'll just order up another,
An' pretend I'm all right,
When the truth is I'm only,
Drinkin' me lonely tonight
An' Lord, it's more than just thirsty,
That I'm feelin' inside,
'Cause these tears I've been cryin',
Have left me bone dry
I wish the bartender,
Had a cure I could buy
But the truth is I'm only,
Drinkin' me lonely tonight
So I'll just order up another,
An' pretend I'm all right,
When the truth is I'm only,
Drinkin' me lonely tonight
