lyrics

When I go out for a drink, you know I’m not fooling around
It takes a lot of concentration to keep knocking them down
And I don’t need tea or coffee when there’s no one around
When you’re drinking alone, there’s only one thing I’ve found
That’s gonna help you run away from the rest of your life
As steady as a friend, more mellow than a wife
Whenever I return to the scene of my crime,
I say “I’ll buy up this tavern one drink at a time”
And when I wake up in the morning I don’t know what to do
With another lonely day and a case of the brown bottle flu

Well she said I didn’t learn my lesson when she left me last night
But it’s gonna take a lot of education before I get it right
So I come back here, and soon enough it all seems fine
It’s too late to forget, I’m just trying to get it out of my mind
It’ll help you run away from the rest of your life
As steady as a friend, more mellow than a wife
Whenever I return to the scene of my crime,
I say “I’ll buy up this tavern one drink at a time”
And when I wake up in the morning I don’t know what to do
With another lonely day and a case of the brown bottle flu
