Song Lyrics

I drink because I'm happy
I drink because I'm not
I drink to stop the sounding and the pounding of my heart
I drink when she's around me
I drink when she's away
I drink to feel the sadness
I drink to make it go away

There are a lot of good people who don't need whiskey to be free
To be free
That's just not me

I drink to kindle friendships
I drink when old ones end
I drink to make me happy
When the day just isn't working
I drink to quell the darkness in my wretched wasted soul
I drink because I'm broken
And sometimes because I'm whole

There are a lot of good people who don't need whiskey to be free
To be free
That's just not me

Ethan will you pour me one more double shot tonight
'Cause I don't like being alone at night
I'll be fine although I'm sure as hell not right
Pretty soon I'll be on my way home

I drink to stop the voices
Drink to loosen up my tongue
I drink to face the parts of myself that I don't wanna speak of
Drink and feign being tougher
Drink and lose my friends
Drink and think about my lovers
I drink to get closer to the end

There are a lot of good people who don't need whiskey to be free
To be free
That's just not me
That's just not me
That's just not me
