if i was a drinking man like i used to be
i'd get myself a bottle then you'd be history
you make me a thinking man when you walked out
if i was a drinking man i wouldn't need you now
i've learned to live without you one day at a time
even though you're always on my mind
there's a bar around the corner i wanted to forget
but i ain't giving up on your love yet
if i was a drinking man like i used to be
i'd get myself a bottle head you
you made me a thanking man when you walked out
if i was a drinking man i wouldn't need you now
knowing me like you do the kind of fool i've been
you probably think i'm three sheets to the wind
i wish that i could tell you that i'm feeling no pain
oh you should see how much i've changed
if i was a drinkin' man like i used to be
i'd get myself a bottlehead you'd be history
you made me a thanking man when you walked out
if i was a drinking man i wouldn't need you now
if i was a drinking man i wouldn't need you now
