Drinkin' Don't Stop Me from Thinkin'

The jukebox plays songs of wild women and bar rooms and beer But I look around me and there ain't but one woman here And she's pouring drinks and trading her laughter for tips And that's all that the customer pays for and that's all the customer gets Drinking don't stop me from thinking that I'm here alone All the whiskey in the world won't bring my woman back home And it don't make me happy like it used to when I was a kid It just makes me remember the way that she loved me And Lord how I wish she still did Bartender don't pour me another we both know I've had enough It won't help tonight and it just makes tomorrow too rough And she'd still be here if it weren't for this damned alcohol But I never could get by without it now I wonder if I'll get by at all
