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
