The Regular

If I was the man she thinks I could be

I wouldn’t come ‘round buying your whiskey

picking my brand from your nicotine wall

If I was that man you wouldn’t know me at all

But I’m one of the regulars ringin’ your bells

I walk through the door and you reach for the shelves

Yeah, you know what I’m after, you know what I need

Though she’s given’ me hell and keeps threatening to leave

But it ain’t you business to criticize me

I’m just one of the regulars

One of the regulars

If she has her wish, I’d already be home

Instead I’m out of my way, ignoring my phone

Hell, I know it ain’t right and she deserves more

Than customer of the year at this old liquor store

Still, I’m one of the regulars ringin’ your bells

I walk through the door and you reach for the shelves

Yeah, you know what I’m after, you know what I need

Though she’s given’ me hell and keeps threatening to leave

But it ain’t you business to worry ‘bout me

I’m just one of the regulars

One of the regulars

I am who I am and I ain’t who I aint

I smoke what I smoke and I drink what I drink

Lord knows she’s begged me to change but i can’t

How I’ve tried…

Still, I’m one of the regulars ringin’ your bells

I walk through the door and you reach for the shelves

Yeah, you know what I’m after, you know what I need

Though it’s breakin’ her heart and she’s threatening to leave

But it ain’t your fault. Don’t feel sorry for me.

I’m just one of the regulars

One of the regulars

I’m just one of the regulars
