[Verse 1] Down on luck again Same hole in my jeans Got a busted watch And a head full of rain I keep the bottle close Like it knows my name Pouring out my hurt But the hurt stays the same [Pre-Chorus] I been losing sleep At the end of the line One more empty glass And I’m out of time [Chorus] I’m drinking pain away Drinking pain away It burns, then it stays Drinking pain away (away, away) I’m drinking pain away But it don’t leave [Verse 2] Boss said “come in early” I said “maybe next week” Phone got ten missed calls And I can’t even speak Mama left a message Said “girl get your ass on home” I heard every word Still I sat there alone [Pre-Chorus] I been losing sleep At the end of the line One more empty glass And I’m out of time [Chorus] I’m drinking pain away Drinking pain away It burns, then it stays Drinking pain away (away, away) I’m drinking pain away But it don’t leave [Bridge] If I drop this bottle Would you catch my fall? If I say I’m sinking Would you hear me call? I don’t need forever Just a little light Something in the morning To get me through the night [Final Chorus] I’m drinking pain away Drinking pain away It burns, then it stays Drinking pain away (away, away) I’m drinking pain away But it don’t leave I’m drinking pain away Help me breathe
