Keep On Drinking

from How The Story Goes by Letter Seventeen

lyrics

When I should have been thinking
Instead I was drinking
And now I'm left here all alone
Wondering if there's a way
I could make things all right
And you'd come home to me tonight
But instead I'm left drinking
With too much time for thinking
About where you're gonna sleep tonight
But I'll get past the squabble
And reach for the bottle
Cause the bottle's my baby my baby tonight


And I keep on drinking
I keep on drinking
I keep on drinking
Instead of thinking about you tonight


I asked the bartender
To start another bender
And serve em up three in a row
Chase it with a beer
And keep em coming here
Until I really start to glow
If I think about you
And what we're going through
I might just break down and cry
So instead I'll have another
And embrace my new lover
Cause the bottle's my baby tonight


CHORUS
(instr - Verse)

CHORUS

And I'll try to find a way
To make you stay
But if I can't find a way
I guess I'll have another drink today


If I have a whiskey sour
About three times an hour
Will it make me forget your name?
If I wake up on the floor
From one too many pour
Do you think I should feel ashamed?
Well you know that it's true
That I'm drinking 'cause of you
But it doesn't have to be that way
It could be like before
If you walk through that door
I'll get back on the wagon again

Letter Seventeen Norcross

Whimsical indie pop from a one-man band. Except when other people help. Which is quite often. So it's not like a one-man band at all.
Oh. And there are songs about donkeys.
