Drinkin' My Baby Goodbye Songtext
von The Charlie Daniels Band

Sittin′ on a bar stool, actin' like a damn fool
That′s what I'm a-doin' today
Sittin′ here, drinkin′, tryna keep 'em thinkin′
I'm a-boozin′ my troubles away
But now, I couldn't make her stay, well, doggone her anyway
She can′t say that I didn't try
Pour me another one, I'm finished with the other one
I′m drinkin′ my baby goodbye

Every time we disagreed
She was always askin' me
"Are you a man or a mouse?"
Now that she′s gone
She probably thinks that I'm home
Just mopin′ around the house

She probably thinks that she's the one thing
I just couldn′t get along without
Well, wouldn't it surprise her, I got a sympathizer
As long as these bottles hold out


'Cause, I′m a-sittin′ on a bar stool, actin' like a damn fool
That′s what I'm a-doin′ today
And I'm sittin′ here, drinkin', tryna keep 'em thinkin′
I′m a-boozin' my troubles away
And now, I couldn′t make her stay, well, doggone her anyway
She can't say that I didn′t try
Pour me another one, I'm finished with the other one
I′m drinkin' my baby goodbye

Every time I try to sit down and talk to her
It always end up in a fuss
I tried to reason with her right up 'til the time
She got on that Greyhound bus

It′d be better if I could forget her
′Cause she sure forgot about me
And if it takes all night, I'm gon′ do it right
I'm gonna sit here ′til I can't see

Well, I′m a-sittin' on a bar stool, actin' like a damn fool
That′s what I′m a-doin' today
And I′m sittin' here, drinkin′, tryna keep 'em thinkin′
I'm boozin' my troubles away
But now, I couldn′t make her stay, well, doggone her anyway
She can′t say that I didn't try
Pour me another one, I′m finished with the other one
I'm drinkin′ my baby goodbye


Well, I'm a-sittin′ on a bar stool, actin' like a damn fool
That's what I′ma doin′ today
And I'm a-sittin′ here, drinkin', tryna keep ′em thinkin'
I′m a-boozin' my troubles away
But now, I couldn't make her stay, well, doggone her anyway
She can′t say that I didn′t try
Pour me another one, I'm finished with the other one
I′m drinkin' my baby goodbye

I said, pour me another one, I′m finished with the other one
I'm drinkin′ my baby goodbye
I said, pour me another one, I'm finished with the other one
I'm drinkin′ my baby goodbye
