Drinkin' Back - Billy Joe Shaver

Hello barroom, my old friend

Yeah, it’s me, I’m drunk again

Like I’ve been ever since she went away

Now I’m just drinkin' back the part

That used to be my heart, 'cause after all

I just drank it away

Yeah, I’m drinkin' back the memory

Of a sweet little woman

So, Mr. Bartender, please let me stay

I’ve already drank about a year ago this Monday

She’ll be mine Tuesday

If I can drink back yesterday

A little girl I drank away got hung up in yesterday

I didn’t know time could move by this fast

Now, yesterday seems far away

Life just moved up another day

So, I’m just thinking Lord and drinkin' back the past

Yeah, I’m drinkin' back the memory

Of a sweet little woman

So, Mr. Bartender, please let me stay

I’ve already drank about a year ago this Monday

She’ll be mine Tuesday

If I can drink back yesterday

She’ll be mine Tuesday if I can drink back yesterday
