"I've Got A Lot To Drink About" lyrics

She looked right at me with a cold, blank stare
Guess she's had her fill of her man not being there
I keep my nose to the grime stone, work late, and party hard
I guess tonight while I was blowing off steam, she packed up the car

Now she's gone, long gone
Don't know if she'll be back or not
She made it clear, the whiskey and the beer
All-nighters with the boys gotta stop
But here I am
Down at the bar wondering if I can straighten me out
So set 'em up again, friend
I've got a lot to drink about

Sometimes a working man just has to play
But now I know I shoulda went home to that girl every day
Her little blue-eyed beauty said she wants to take me out on the floor
I just tell her, no thanks, I've already lost all I'm looking for

But she's gone, long gone
Don't know if she'll be back or not
She made it clear, the whiskey and the beer
All-nighters with the boys gotta stop
But here I am
Forgive me darling but I think I better sit this one out
I'm just getting started
I've got a lot to drink about

Can't believe I could never see how I'd keep on doing wrong
While I'd figure out my next move, brother keep on making 'em strong

Now she's gone, long gone
I don't know if she'll be back or not
Oh, she made it clear, the whiskey and the beer
All-nighters with the boys gotta stop
But here I am
Down at the bar wondering if I can straighten me out
So set 'em up again, friend
I've got a lot to drink about
Mmh, I've got a lot to drink about, yeah
