I Drink Alone

That house I grew up in has buckled with time

Damn near hid by the dead stalks of ragweed and vines

And I don't know why I find myself on this road

That ole ball and chain of memories won't let me go

Makes me thirsty for whiskey and I need you to know

When I drink it's best I drink alone because my past just won't stay gone

And I hate to cry and that just makes me want to fight

I'm sorry for what I put you through when my pain bleeds over to you

And I need some time to myself to make things right

If there's a bottle in my hand when I get home

It's best I drink alone

I drink alone

Ain't trying to live in the past by seeds others have sown

And most times I'm alright now that I'm grown

But sometimes it hits me, and I don't know why

I can't seem to find my way out no matter how hard I try

It makes me thirsty for whiskey

Another one of those nights

When I drink it's best I drink alone because my past just won't stay gone

And I hate to cry and that just makes me want to fight

I'm sorry for what I put you through when my pain bleeds over to you

And I need some time to myself to make things right

If there's a bottle in my hand when I get home

It's best I drink alone

I drink alone

When I drink it's best I drink alone because my past just won't stay gone

And I hate to cry and that just makes me want to fight

I'm sorry for what I put you through when my pain bleeds over to you

And I need some time to myself to make things right

If there's a bottle in my hand when I get home

I drink alone

I drink alone
