Since I Started Drinkin' Again
Raising Spirits, Drowning Sorrows: Since I Embraced the Bottle Again
Lyrics
Since I started drinkin' again
Engaging in drinking again
Since I started drinkin' again
Continuing the act of drinking
I ain't shed one lousy tear over you
No longer experiencing sadness or sorrow for the person addressed
Since I started drinkin' again
Persisting in the behavior of drinking
I know that the neighbours are all a-talkin'
Aware of neighbors gossiping about personal state of mind
They swear that I have lost my mind
Neighbors believe mental stability has been lost
Ah but they do not know
Clarifying that others are unaware of newfound emotional control
That I've just gained control
Asserting control over the emotional pain left by the addressed person
Of all the heartache that you left behind
Gaining mastery over the heartache caused by the person
Since I started drinkin' again
Reiterating the commencement of drinking
Since I started drinkin' again
Emphasizing the ongoing act of drinking
I ain't shed one lousy tear over you
No signs of emotional distress or crying over the addressed person
Since I started drinkin' again
Continuing the behavior of drinking
Well I know that the boss is gonna fire me
Acknowledging potential job repercussions due to arriving late after drinking
When I stumble in late to work again
Expecting potential job termination for tardiness
But surprise will replace that old scowl on his face
Anticipating a change in the boss's expression upon realizing indifference
When he sees that I do not give a damn
Not caring about job consequences
Since I started drinkin' again
Reaffirming the act of drinking
Since I started drinkin' again
Continuing to engage in drinking
I ain't shed one lousy tear over you
No indication of shedding tears for the addressed person
Since I started drinkin' again
Persisting in the behavior of drinking
I ain't shed one lousy tear over you
No emotional distress or tears shed for the addressed person
Since I started drinkin'
Repeating the acknowledgment of drinking initiation
Since I started drinkin'
Reiterating the continuation of drinking
Since I started drinkin' again
Continuing the behavior of drinking again
