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 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 whiskeys laying claim to all thats 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
So I'll just order up another and pretend I'm all right
When the truth is I'm only drinkin' me lonely tonight
