I've Got a Lot to Drink About - Collin Raye

She looked right at me with a cold, blank stare

Guess she’s had her fill of her man not being there

I keep my nose to the grime stone, work late, and party hard

I guess tonight while I was blowing off steam, she packed up the car

Now she’s gone, long gone

Don’t know if she’ll be back or not

She made it clear, the whiskey and the beer

All-nighters with the boys gotta stop

But here I am

Down at the bar wondering if I can straighten me out

So set 'em up again, friend

I’ve got a lot to drink about

Sometimes a working man just has to play

But now I know I shoulda went home to that girl every day

Her little blue-eyed beauty said she wants to take me out on the floor

I just tell her, no thanks, I’ve already lost all I’m looking for

But she’s gone, long gone

Don’t know if she’ll be back or not

She made it clear, the whiskey and the beer

All-nighters with the boys gotta stop

But here I am

Forgive me darling but I think I better sit this one out

I’m just getting started

I’ve got a lot to drink about

Can’t believe I could never see how I’d keep on doing wrong

While I’d figure out my next move, brother keep on making 'em strong

Now she’s gone, long gone

I don’t know if she’ll be back or not

Oh, she made it clear, the whiskey and the beer

All-nighters with the boys gotta stop

But here I am

Down at the bar wondering if I can straighten me out

So set 'em up again, friend

I’ve got a lot to drink about

Mmh, I’ve got a lot to drink about, yeah
