I Can’t Stop Drinking (From Exile)
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Champagne drunk, tomorrow's out of luck
When the celebration comes to an end
When the party's over, Sunday morning wakes up sober
Begs for me to start up again
[Verse 2]
I'm whiskey drunk in the Shop Rite parking lot
I'm waitin' while Anna buys milk and eggs
Sometimes I wonder why she hasn’t found another
One that her girlfriends would recommend
[Pre-Chorus]
Our worst fights are when we get silent
Just a disappointed you shaking your head
When the cards and flowers don’t work
I sleep on the couch when i’m a jerk
What's gotta give? What's gotta give?
[Chorus]
'Cause I know what you’re thinking
That I can’t stop drinking
Every time you try to ask me to, I just
Throw a fit and storm out of the room
'Cause I know what you’re thinking
[Violin Solo]
[Verse 3]
I'm cheap beer drunk in a bar off Passyunk
I'll be here until the lights come up again
Feel free to join me if you’re bored or feeling lonely
I could sure use the company
[Pre-Chorus]
I miss you so much when I was your drunk lush
You knew me so well, I knew you half as well
Well love’s a cruel cruel joke
When the tools in the shed can’t fix what’s broke
So you leave it broke...
[Chorus]
'Cause I know what you’re thinking
That I can’t stop drinking
Every time you try and ask me to, I just
Throw a fit and storm out of the room
'Cause I know what you’re thinking
[Instrumental Outro]
