I drink because I'm happy I drink because I'm not I drink to stop the sounding and the pounding of my heart I drink when she's around me I drink when she's away I drink to feel the sadness I drink to make it go away There are a lot of Good people who don't Need whiskey to be free To be free, free That's just not me I drink to kindle friendships I drink when old ones end I drink to make me happy When the day just isn't working I drink to quell the darkness In my wretched wasted soul I drink because I'm broken And sometimes because I'm whole There are a lot of Good people who don't Need whiskey to be free To be free, free That's just not me Ethan will you pour me One more double shot tonight Cuz I don't like being alone at night I'll be fine although I'm sure as hell not right Pretty soon I'll be on my way home I drink to stop the voices Drink to loosen up my tongue I drink to face the parts of myself that I don't wanna speak of Drink and feign being tougher Drink and lose my friends Drink and think about my lovers I drink to get closer to the end There are a lot of Good people who don't Need whiskey to be free To be free, free That's just not me That's just not me That's just not me
