"Tying One On" lyrics

"Tying One On"

I tried to tell myself we'll work it out
Held on to hoping she'd come back around

I've tried
Giving it time, just laying low
But tonight
That devil on the shelf says to hell with the high road

So pour em tall and strong
I got nothing left to lose
I'm working on getting her gone
Knocking back that straight 80 proof
I tried everything for the hurting
But that moving on ain't working
So tonight I'm tying one on
To cut her loose

Don't know how many that it's gonna take
But I'll be right here until this unbreaks

Cause I
Been tangled up too long hurting on her love
I
Can't kill it with beer, just hit me with the hard stuff

So pour em tall and strong
I got nothing left to lose
I'm working on getting her gone
Knocking back that straight 80 proof
I tried everything for the hurting
But that moving on ain't working
So tonight I'm tying one on
To cut her loose

Don't take me home, home
Till I don't know her name
And I don't know her number
Naw don't, cut me off
Till her memory's 6 feet under

So pour em tall and strong
I got nothing left to lose
I'm working on getting her gone
Knocking back that straight 80 proof
I tried everything for the hurting
But that moving on ain't working
So tonight I'm tying one on
To cut her loose
To cut her loose
