"Just Having One" lyrics

Traffic's gettin' worse
My back, it hurts
And lately, work just feels like work
With no end in sight
The checks are staying small
The days are long
And I'm just needing something strong
When the clock hits five

I know they say you shouldn't drink to cope
But they don't know

I'm just having one
Is it such a crime
To take off the edge
And ease my mind?
I said I'm havin' one
And that ain't a lie
I'm just having one
One at a time
One for the raise that I didn't get
One for the boss that I wish was dead
One for the unpaid overtime
Yeah, I'm just having one at a time

Look who just walked in
Of course it's him
And that don't look like just a friend
Wrapped around his arm
I bet she doesn't know
An hour ago
His name was lighting up my phone
Now my heart
Feels like it's been hit by a truck
Yeah, where's my cup?

I'm just having one
Is it such a crime
To take off the edge
And ease my mind?
I said I'm havin' one
That ain't a lie
I'm just having one
One at a time
One every time that he makes her laugh
One every time that he texts me back
One to forget last Friday night
Yeah, I'm just having
One at a time

Well, it's two-for-ones
Till 10 tonight
And they're double pours
But that's just fine
'Cause if my math is right

I'm just having one
And calling it a night
Don't twist my words
Or try to change my mind
I said I'm havin' one
And that ain't a lie
I'm just having one
One at a time
And then I'm having one
One at a time
I'm just having one
One at a time
