Cheaper Than A Shrink - Joe Nichols

I was sittin' in a chair at the H and R Block

Some bean countin' pencil pusher runnin' up the clock

Said, «I've tallied up your numbers through the end of the year

Son you spent a small fortune on liquor and beer»

I said, «It's cheaper than a shrink»

You don’t have to think

You just pour and drink

It’s sixteen-fifty for a bottle of Jack

No pouring out your heart to some high dollar quack

Just a flip of the wrist and you’re gettin' it done

And gettin' just as messed up and havin' a lot more fun

And it’s cheaper than a shrink

You don’t have to think

You just pour and drink

It’s cheaper than a shrink

Now me and her had this little problem between us Tryin' to bridge the gap between Mars and Venus

She said, «Honey, I think we need to see a marital counselor»

I said, «All we need to do is slam a case of twelve ouncers»

'Cause it’s cheaper than a shrink

You don’t have to think

You just pour and drink

'Bout eighteen bucks I’ll getcha four six-packs

No pourin' out your heart to some high dollar quack

Just a flip of the wrist and you’re gettin' it done

Gettin' just as messed up and havin' a lot more fun

And it’s cheaper than a shrink

You don’t have to think

You just pour and drink

And it’s cheaper than a shrink

If the liquor prices soar as high as gasoline

Well, I’d have quit drinkin' back when I was nineteen

It’s the oldest most proven form of therapy

The best thing about it, far as I can see

Is that it’s cheaper than a shrink

You don’t have to think

You just pour and drink

And it’s cheaper than a shrink

Oh, you just pour and drink

And it’s a whole lot cheaper than

Some big town clock hound

Drag you down shrink
