[Verse 1] It’s been three long years since she walked away, And I still set her plate down every day. Her chair don’t move, her picture’s still there, I toast her name to an empty chair. [Chorus] Me and my drink, we get along fine, We talk about love and the waste of time. He never lies, and he don’t leave, He just burns my throat and helps me grieve. Yeah, me and my drink, we’re doin’ alright— Till the sun goes down and I start to cry. [Verse 2] The jukebox plays our favorite song, I hum the words, but I hum ‘em wrong. ‘Cause that melody cuts like a blade, Every time I hear her name. [Chorus] Me and my drink, we get along fine, We talk about love and the ties that bind. He don’t judge and he don’t think, He just keeps pourin’ when I can’t blink. Yeah, me and my drink, we’re doin’ okay— Till the night comes callin’ her name again. [Bridge] Some folks pray, some folks heal, Some build walls so they don’t feel. But me, I just pour another glass, And watch my future fade into the past. [Final Chorus] Me and my drink, we’ll see this through, He’s been faithful when I’ve been untrue. He don’t care that I still ache, He just helps me drown the breaks I make. Yeah, me and my drink, we’re all I’ve got— And one of us won’t wake up tomorrow’s dawn. [Outro] Bartender nods, wipes down the bar, Says, “You headin’ home?”—I say, “Not that far.” ‘Cause home’s wherever the bottle clinks, It’s just me… and my drink.
