Drinkin' My Baby Goodbye - Live From Gilley's

Well, I'ma sittin' on a bar stool, actin' like a darn fool

That's what I'm a-doin' today

Sittin' here drinkin' tryna keep 'em thinkin'

'Cause I'm a-boozin' my troubles away

Now people, I couldn't make her stay, 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 a-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 darn fool

That's what I'm a-doin' today

Sittin' here drinkin' tryna keep 'em thinkin'

I'm a-boozin' my troubles away

Well, now I couldn't make her stay, 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

Now if you'd believe it'd be better if I could forget her

'Cause she sure forgot about me

And if takes all night, I'm gon' do it right

I'm gonna sit here 'til I can't see

'Cause I'm a-sittin' on a bar stool, actin' like a darn fool

That's what I'm a-doin' today

I'm sittin' here drinkin' tryna keep 'em thinkin'

'Cause I'm boozin' my troubles away

Now people, I couldn't make her stay, 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 darn fool

That's what I'm a-doin' today

Sittin' here drinkin' tryna keep 'em thinkin'

'Cause I'm a-boozin' my troubles away

Now people, I couldn't make her stay, 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

Come on and pour me another one, I'm finished with the other one

I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye

Pour me another one, I'm finished with the other one

I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye
