The Only Time I`m Sober Is When You`re Gone Lyrics

When I first met you, I didn't understand

What a naggin' bitchin' woman can do to a man

Well it seems that the girl I married ain't quite the same

I thought I knew you better when I gave you my name



Chorus:       Now, the only time I'm sober's when you're gone

                  And the bottle is the only thing that keeps me hangin' on

                  The man on the radio keeps singin' sad sad songs

                  Like "The Only Time I'm Sober's When You're Gone"



I have no need to travel, anywhere's too far

And they know me by my first name at all the local bars

I heard that a failin' love can drive a man to drink

I would have left you if I hadn't been too high to think



(Chorus)



Well, guess I'd better go now, it's gettin' pretty late

But I'll be back tomorrow night, so please save my place

And I'll tell you all about the tales of pain and misery

And the heartaches that you caused by bein'  too damn blind to see



(Chorus
