Lyrics

TO TRY AND PASS THE TIME
Fran Powers - BMI

Verse 1:
She may stumble past your table
Say "excuse me" if she's able
But most likely, she'll pretend she's doing fine.
Things she does, don't ever mention,
Drinking wasn't her intention
She just comes in here
TO TRY AND PASS THE TIME.

Chorus:
TO TRY AND PASS THE TIME she used to say
Is the reason why I drink when you're away.
When you're with me, things are fine
But when you're gone, I lose my mind
And I just come here, TO TRY AND PASS THE TIME.

Verse 2:
She didn't always act so loud
Whem we met, she was so proud
She had class and always ordered the right wine.
It's my fault and not her own
That she's here and all alone
I just left her here TO TRY AND PASS THE TIME.

Chorus 2:
Don't blame the bottle, don't blame her, But blame this man
As I stand here and pretend that's what I am.
Call me what you would prefer, but say only good of her
She just comes in here TO TRY AND PASS THE TIME.
