Drowning My Sorrow Blues

With every glass of wine that I drink

These thoughts of you are all I think

With every shot of whiskey that I sip

Can’t help but dream of your sweet lips

And if I’m crying in my beer

It’s just because you’re not here

I’m just trying to ease the pain

Of missing you again

Every day I’m more confused

Feeling worried, scared and used

Wish you would call me on the phone

So I wouldn’t feel so all alone

Wearing my feelings up close to my skin

What used to be tough is wearing thin

Killing a bottle in an alcohol haze

Helps numb the pain of better days

I’ll lay here and wallow

Drowning my sorrow

Rum really makes me mellow

And Vodka makes me very slow

Wine used to make me sleepy

Now it seems to make me weepy

Brandy made me lazy

Then Tequila made me crazy

Gin just makes me want to fight

While Sambuca made me see the light

With Absinthe I think I can fly

But Bourbon...Bourbon makes me cry

I’ll lay here and wallow

Drowning my sorrow

So raise a glass to promises spoken

Swallow the poison of promises broken

For better or worse our choice is made

Some vows once taken can’t be unsaid

But I got a bottle to drown my sorrow

I’ll crawl inside at least 'til tomorrow

Might come out, might just stay

And drink my way to a better day

With every glass of wine that I drink

These thoughts of you are all I think

With every shot of whiskey that I sip

Can’t help but dream of your sweet lips

And if I’m crying in my beer

It’s just because you’re not here

I’m just trying to ease the pain

Of missing you again
