Can't Drink My Blues Away

CAN’T DRINK MY BLUES AWAY

In a bar on the dark side of town

Patiently, pourin’ down one more round

While my conscience tells me there’s no way

That I can drink my blues away


Lonely day turns to night turns to day

I’m goin’ home now if I can find my way

This empty bottle tells more than I can say

Tryin’ to drink my blues away


Chorus:
I need a shoulder to cry on, a friend to rely on

Darlin’ please, please, carry me away


Now the days turn to weeks turn to years

I’m tryin’ hard to hold back the tears

As I stare down the cold reality

That I can’t drink my blues away


Chorus:
I need a shoulder to cry on, a friend to rely on

Darlin’ please, please, carry me away

I need two arms to hold me, someone to console me

I can’t drink my blues away

I can’t drink my blues away

No, I can’t drink my blues away
