Only come here once a day at hurtin' time Payday, Charley knows I'm good for every dime And I ease up on the barstool where I ease my pain I'm never strong enough to face that lonely night again Oh, the power of positive drinkin' And it's foolin' all of my negative thinkin' And it hurts so good I never notice the sinkin' Thanks a lot to positive drinkin' ♪ Well Charley always lets me take a bottle home After all, a man he can't fake it when he's all alone And when the whiskey's talkin' I can't hear your memory 'Cause a little drinkin' drowns out a lot of you and me Oh, the power of positive drinkin' And it's foolin' all of my negative thinkin' And it hurts so good I never notice the sinkin' Thanks a lot to positive drinkin' Thanks a lot to positive drinkin'
