Drinkin' My Heartbreak Away

Copyright 2013 Robert J. Thompson, BMI

I HEARD THE NEWS EARLY THIS MORNING
ONCE AGAIN, I WAS THE LAST ONE TO KNOW
SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE'D NEVER LEAVE ME
BUT IN THE END, SHE WAS THE FIRST ONE TO GO

WHEN IT HIT ME, I FELL OFF THE WAGON
PICKED ME UP AN ALUMINUM CAN
I CHASED AWAY THE PAIN WITH A BOTTLE
NOW I'M RIGHT BACK WHERE I STARTED AGAIN

YEAH, I'M DRINKIN' MY HEARTBREAK AWAY (HELL YEAH)
I'M DRINKIN' MY HEARTBREAK AWAY (YESSIR)
GOODBYE LOVE COME BACK ANOTHER DAY
CUZ I'M DRINKIN' MY HEARTBREAK AWAY

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

EXCUSE ME WHILE I PICK UP THE PIECES
AND PUT MYSELF TOGETHER AGAIN
IT MIGHT GET WORSE BEFORE IT GETS BETTER
RIGHT NOW I’M DOIN’ THE BEST THAT I CAN

WELL, MAYBE SOMEDAY I’LL LEARN MY LESSON
SHE SURE TAUGHT ME SOMETHING THIS TIME
I’VE NEVER BEEN A GENIUS WITH WOMEN
BUT I SURE KNOW HOW TO DRINK ME SOME WINE

YEAH, I'M DRINKIN' MY HEARTBREAK AWAY (HELL YEAH)
I'M DRINKIN' MY HEARTBREAK AWAY (YESSIR)
GOODBYE LOVE COME BACK ANOTHER DAY
CUZ I'M DRINKIN' MY HEARTBREAK AWAY

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

UNTIL THAT DAY YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND ME
CUZ I HAVE FOUND WHAT I’VE BEEN LOOKIN FOR
I’LL BE SITTIN’ RIGHT HERE ON THIS BARSTOOL
MISTER BARTENDER POUR ME ONE MORE

YEAH, I'M DRINKIN' MY HEARTBREAK AWAY (HELL YEAH)
I'M DRINKIN' MY HEARTBREAK AWAY (YESSIR)
GOODBYE LOVE COME BACK ANOTHER DAY
CUZ I'M DRINKIN' MY HEARTBREAK AWAY

YEAH, I'M DRINKIN' MY HEARTBREAK AWAY (HELL YEAH)
I'M DRINKIN' MY HEARTBREAK AWAY (YESSIR)
GOODBYE LOVE COME BACK ANOTHER DAY
CUZ I'M DRINKIN' MY HEARTBREAK AWAY
