Gary Stewart Drinkin Thing Lyrics

Drinkin Thing Lyrics

Every day... I tell myself, it's temporary 

That it's only 'cause she's
young 

That makes her want... another man 



Eventhough she
makes me feel un-necessary 

I've found a way to help me understand 



I've got this drinkin' thing 

To keep from thinkin' things 

About where you've been 

Who you've been with 

What you've done




And it's a lonely thing 

But, it's the only thing 

To
keep a foolish man in love 

Hangin' on... 



If I wait at home,
I'll only ask her questions 

She'd probably the truth, so I don't even ask


So, I sit here on this barstool, feelin' helpless 

And I wonder,
just how long ... a man can last 



I've got this drinkin' thing 

To keep from thinkin' things 

About where you've been 

Who you've
been with 

What you've done 



And it's a lonely thing 

But it's the only thing 

To keep a foolish man in love 

Hangin'
on ... 



I've got this drinkin' thing 

To keep from thinkin'
things 

About where you've been 

Who you've been with 

What
you've done...
