Drinkin About You

Verse 1 Neon buzzin’ like a second heartbeat Dust on my boots, Friday night repeat Bartender knows my order by now Same damn whiskey, same letdown Your name’s still hangin’ in the smoke Like a last word you never spoke Pre-Chorus I tried prayin’, I tried leavin’ town Tried burnin’ your letters, tried settlin’ down But every road just leads me back To a barstool truth I can’t outrun yet Chorus I ain’t drinkin’ to forget you I’m drinkin’ ‘cause I remember too much Every sip’s just another excuse To feel your kiss and miss your touch Yeah I’ve been lyin’ when I say I’m fine I’m just drownin’ in cheap proof Don’t need a reason or a lie tonight I’m drinkin’ about you Verse 2 Saw your truck by the county line Didn’t know heartbreak could stop time Heard you’re happy, heard you moved on Guess that means I got it all wrong I keep sayin’ I’m over us But this glass says otherwise Pre-Chorus There’s a ghost in every song they play Every love song cuts the same damn way I’d give anything just to lose What I feel every time I choose— Chorus I ain’t drinkin’ to forget you I’m drinkin’ ‘cause I remember too much Every sip’s just another excuse To feel your kiss and miss your touch Yeah I’ve been lyin’ when I say I’m fine I’m just drownin’ in cheap proof Don’t need a reason or a lie tonight I’m drinkin’ about you Bridge If hurt had a flavor, it’d burn like this Go down slow, leave a bitter kiss I swear I quit, then I swear I won’t Your goodbye’s in every note I choke I don’t wanna love you, don’t wanna lose But here I am, doin’ what I do Chorus (Half-time, then big) I ain’t drinkin’ to forget you I’m drinkin’ ‘cause I remember too much Yeah the past ain’t somethin’ I can lose It’s just somethin’ I can’t touch So I raise one more to what we were And what I couldn’t prove Yeah I’m breakin’ down, bottle by bottle Drinkin’ about you Outro Last call’s comin’, lights burn blue One more round, yeah that’s the truth If lovin’ you’s what put me through Then I’ll spend tonight Drinkin’ about you
