Drinkin' Me Lonely

I'm pushing you away each time I pull up that ol' barstool
 Drownin' you in every drop I drink
 Telling you to go to hell but I'm talking to myself
 Cause you're not around to hear what I think
 I'm trying to teach my heart to hate you but it ain't workin' right
 Now the truth is I'm only drinkin' me lonely tonight
 And Lord, it's more than just thirsty that I'm feeling inside
 Cause these tears I've been crying 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

 He said I'd have to choose between your love and this old bar room
 I just laughed but I guess you knew best
 Who cares who's right or wrong tonight, my better half is gone
 And this whiskey's laying claim to all that's left
 So I'll just order up another and pretend I'm all right
 When the truth is I'm only drinkin' me lonely tonight
 And Lord, it's more than just thirsty that I'm feeling inside
 Cause these tears I've been crying 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
