The Charlie Daniels Band - Drinking My Baby Goodbye lyrics

[Chorus] Sitting on a bar stool acting like a darn fool That's what I'm a-doing today Sitting here drinking trying to keep from thinking I'm a boozing my troubles away Well now I couldn't make her stay, well dog gone her anyway She can't say that I didn't try Pour me another one, I'm finished with the other one I'm drinking my baby goodbye [Verse 1] Every time we disagreed She was always asking me Are you a man or a mouse? Now that she's gone She probably thinks I'm home Just a moping around the house She probably thinks that she's the one thing I just couldn't get along without Well wouldn't it surprise her I got a sympathizer As long as these bottles hold out [Chorus] [Verse 2] Every time I try to sit down and talk to her It always ends up in a fuss I tried to reason with her right up to the time She got on that Greyhound bus It would be better if I could forget her Because she sure forgot about me And if takes all night I'm going to do it right I'm going to sit here till I can't see [Chorus]
