Drinkin' Alone

Another night

Another bar

Another wasted brain cell

On a useless memory

Why do I come here

I ask myself every time

Supporting this business

That makes money off loitering

I had to leave the house

I had to see the sky

But it was too dark and cold out

Besides everything else was closed

Decided to go

Where I don't know anyone

Sit down at the bar and order

Double anything

I came here to drink alone

Sometimes that's all you got

Sometimes your friends don't know

Or else they know all too well

I don't know which one's worse

But I don't need wisdom now

Nor do I need advise

Or camaraderie no

I just need to drink

Alone

Had to go some place

Where it ain't necessary

To put on an act

Or to let one act slip away

Or wish for the power to say

No, I don't want to hear a poem

Or I have to go home

I've been here too long already

Bartender just looks at me

You're a problem I've seen before

But I won't cause trouble

I came here to disappear

Try not to seem overly drunk

So he'll keep on pouring drinks

Ignore dirty old men and then spend

All my money loitering

Five o'clock in the morning

I stumble through my front door

Fingers are numb

I dropped my keys in the snow

It's harder to see now

But sleeping is easier

Got nothing solved

But I guess that's just how it goes
