Lyrics:

I'm pushin’ you away each time
I pull up that old bar stool
Drownin' you in every drop I drink
Tellin' you to go to hell
But I’m talkin' to myself
‘Cause you’re not around
To hear what I think

I’m tryin' to teach my heart to hate you
But it ain’t workin’ right
Now the truth is I’m only
Drinkin’ me lonely tonight

And lord, it’s more than just thirsty
That I’m feeling inside
‘Cause these tears I’ve been cryin'
Have left me bone dry
I wish the bartender
Had a cure I could buy
But the truth is I'm only
Drinkin' me lonely tonight

You said I’d have to choose
Between your love and this old bar room
I just laughed but I guess you knew best
Who cares whose right or wrong
Tonight my better half is gone
And this whisky’s layin' claim to all that’s left
So I'll just order up another
And pretend I'm all right
When the truth is I’m only
Drinkin’ me lonely tonight

And Lord, it’s more than just thirsty
That I’m feelin' inside
‘Cause these tears I’ve been cryin'
Have left me bone dry
I wish the bartender
Had a cure I could buy
But the truth is I'm only
Drinkin' me lonely tonight

So I'll just order up another
And pretend I'm all right
When the truth is I’m only
Drinkin’ me lonely tonight
