[Verse 1] I gave up whiskey To make life better But it got worse She got gone, I got her letter She don't love me, she don't love me when I'm sober So I'm back on the booze, I'm drinking now to win her over [Chorus] People try to tell me it's only stinking thinking But my baby loves me more when I've been drinking So I'm drinking now, someone please let her know I've got a bottle of whiskey and I'm not gonna let it go [Verse 2] When I quit drinking, I thought she'd be supportive A better life for us both, that was my motive But I got cranky, though I tried hard not to squabble I'm much more fun when I'm chugging from a bottle [Chorus] People try to tell me it's only stinking thinking But my baby loves me more when I've been drinking So I'm drinking now, someone please let her know I've got a bottle of whiskey and I'm not gonna let it go [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] So I've been drinking and I'm frantically drunk texting But it's too late, she's probably on her next one Some drunk cowboy, he probably has her laughing But I'll keep drinking and wishing and crashing [Chorus] People try to tell me it's only stinking thinking But my baby loves me more when I've been drinking So I'm drinking now, someone please let her know I've got a bottle of whiskey and I'm not gonna let it go
