I LIKE DRINKING
©2008 Johnnie Lawson

MY WOMAN DONE LEFT ME ... SHE JUST FELL OUT OF LOVE
SHE SAID I WAS TROUBLE
FROM THE TIME THAT WE HOOKED UP (YOU WAS)
SHE DIDN'T LIKE MY DRINKING, OR MY STUMBLING AROUND
SHE SAID IF I WOULD GIVE IT ALL UP
SHE MIGHT JUST STICK AROUND

BUT I LIKE WHISKEY ( I LIKE WHISKEY !!)
AND I LIKE BOOZE (I LIKE IT TOO)
AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE ME (OH I DO) ...
THEN TO HELL WITH YOU

Instrumental

SHE DON'T UNDERSTAND IT ... SHE CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY
THAT I LIKE MY DRINKING ( duh !!) EVEN THOUGH IT MAKES HER CRY
THOSE TEARDROPS KEEP FALLIN',
ENOUGH TO FILL UP A GLASS (A BIG GLASS)
AND IT WATERS DOWN MY ROYAL CROWN AND THAT ...
BURNS MY ASS !!

YEAH I LIKE WHISKEY ( I LIKE WHISKEY!) ... AND I LIKE WINE (OH, YEAH !)
AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT ... (OH, I LIKE IT ) YOU'RE NO FRIEND OF MINE
I LIKE TEQUILA (TEQUILA !!) WITH A LITTLE SALT AND LIME (OH, YEAH !)
AND SOMEWHERE IN MARGUARITAVILLE IS WHERE
I WANT TO SPEND MY TIME
YEAH I LIKE SHOOTERS, (LITTLE SHOOTERS! )
I CHASE 'EM WITH BEER (LOTS'A BEER !!)
AND IF YOU WOULD CHANGE YOUR MIND 'BOUT DRINKING
I WISH YOU WERE HERE
YEAH I LIKE DRINKING ..... ( DO YUH THINK ?) (laughter)
