Lyrics

“Drinkin’”

VERSE
Drinkin’ showed me Paris... drinkin’ flew me to Rome
Drinkin’ brought me lots of places but never brought me home
Drinkin’ with my fancy friends or low-life bars in town
Drinkin’ took me over... then drinkin’ took me down

CHORUS
The bottom of the bottle was my way of telling time
Another inch and then the damage done
Just one more, I’d con myself... you haven’t crossed the line
‘Til I ran out of room to run... no more room to run

SECOND VERSE
Drinkin’ gave me courage... chased away the ghosts
It almost made me handsome if you didn’t look too close
Drinkin’ made me friendly... more fun to be around
Drinkin’ took me over... then drinkin’ took me down

CHORUS
The bottom of the bottle was my way of telling time
Another inch and then the damage done
Just one more, I’d con myself... you haven’t crossed the line
‘Til I ran out of room to run... no more room to run

FINALE
Drinkin’ caught me from behind and never made a sound
Drinkin’ took me over... then drinkin’ took me down
