I'm pushin you away each time I pull up that ol' bar stool
Drownin' you with every drop I drink
Tellin' you to go to hell but I'm talkin' to myself
Cuz you're not around to hear what I think
I'm tryin to teach my heart to hate you
But it ain't workin' right
Now the truth is I'm only
Drinkin me lonely tonight

Chorus:
And lord its more than just thirsty that I'm feelin inside
Cuz these tears I've been cryin 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

You said I'd have to choose between your love and this ol' 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 layin claim to all thats left
So I'll just order up another and pretend I'm alright
But the truth is I'm only
Drinkin me lonely tonight

Repeat Chorus

So I'll just order up another and pretend I'm alright
When the truth is I'm only
Drinkin me lonely tonight
