Lyrics
I AIN'T DRINKIN' ANY MORE
(KNABLE/ALLEN/LATHAM)
KEY: G TEMPO: 138 GENDER: EITHER
IT'S TIME FOR ME TO STAND UP
STATE MY NAME AND WHY I CAME
I LOOK AT ALL YOUR FRIENDLY FACES
TRYIN' NOT TO FEEL ASHAMED
BUT I AIN'T DRINKIN' ANYMORE
SINCE SHE WALKED OUT AND SLAMMED THE DOOR
I DON'T HANG OUT AT THE SAME OLD BARS
THEY REMIND ME OF MY BROKEN HEART
I GOT THIS WEIGHT LAYIN' ON MY CHEST
AND I REALLY, REALLY MUST CONFESS
I AIN'T DRINKIN' ANY MORE
BUT I AIN'T DRINKIN' ANY LESS
I'M ON A LONG STREAK OF BAD LUCK
MY JOB GOT SENT TO MEXICO
GOT A ROOM I RENT BY THE WEEK
BUT I'M NOT A BITTER SOUL, CAUSE...
CHORUS
THANKS FOR LETTING ME BEND YOUR EAR
IT'S HARD FOR ME TO SHOW MY TEARS
