Drinkin My Baby Goodbye - Charlie Daniels

Sittin' on a bar stool actin' like a durn fool

That’s what I’m a-doin' today

Sitting' her drinkin' tryin' to keep from thinkin'

I’m a boozin' my troubles away

Well now I couldn’t make her stay, well doggone her anyway

She can’t say that I didn’t try.

Pour me another one, I’m finished with the other one

I’m drinkin' my baby goodbye.

Everytime we disagreed

She was always askin' me

Are you a man or a mouse?

Now that she’s gone

She probably thinks I’m home

Just a mopin' 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

Sittin' on a bar stool actin' like a durn fool

That’s what I’m a-doin' today.

Sitting' her drinkin' tryin' to keep from thinkin'

I’m a boozin' my troubles away.

Well now I couldn’t make her stay, well doggone her anyway

She can’t say that I didn’t try.

Pour me another one, I’m finished with the other one

I’m drinkin' my baby goodbye.

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

'Cause she sure forgot about me.

And if takes all night I’m gonna' do it right

I’m gonna' sit here till I can’t see.

Sittin' on a bar stool actin' like a durn fool

That’s what I’m a-doin' today

Sitting' her drinkin' tryin' to keep from thinkin'

I’m a boozin' my troubles away

Well now I couldn’t make her stay well doggone her anyway

She can’t say that I didn’t try

Pour me another one, I’m finished with the other one

I’m drinkin' my baby goodbye
