lyrics

I should be hurtin' real bad, I should be on the edge
I should be cursin' their name but here I am instead
Grinnin' like I won
Cuz I drank all my blues away

I probably had it coming, I'm sure I brought it on
Cuz that's just how do it, it's how I get on
I should be cursin' myself but instead I bought a gun
That gun's name is whiskey and I fired it off at one

They say you can't drown your problems, son
I beg to differ, I've done it more than once

I'm sure I'll feel it all tomorrow but just for today
I'm not thinkin 'bout tomorrow or hell to pay
I'm just sippin on this sunshine packaged in a can
Today I drank my blues away

They say you can't drown your problems, son
I beg to differ, I've done it more than once

I drank all my blues away
I drank all my blues away
I drank all my blues away
