Drinkin' Alone
Midnight Confessions: Embracing the Lonesome Symphony
Lyrics
Tonight's been one hell of a try
Tonight's been challenging and full of attempts
In trying to get back loose
Struggling to break free or be unrestrained
Getting back to the old habits
Reverting to old habits as advised
All the ones you told me to lose
Returning to behaviors you wanted me to abandon
Well I can't get back the time that we spent
Unable to regain lost time but willing to share some with the bartender
But I can give some to the bartender
Offering time to the bartender instead of going home
Well I need to go home but if I go through that door
Considering going home, but it might lead to being with you again
I'll probably end up with you by the morning
Predicting a reunion with you if I pass through that door
I'm shaking and groaning
Experiencing physical and emotional distress
To the sound of the lonesome
Reacting to the sound of solitude
Pour me Patron
Requesting a drink of Patron tequila
I don't wanna go home
Unwillingness to return home
Give me one more round
Asking for another drink
Promise I'll settle down
Committing to settling down after one more round
But I said that two hours ago
Admitting a broken promise made two hours ago
I'm drinkin' alone
Currently drinking alone
I know every song on that jukebox
Knowing every song on the jukebox
I know how to hang up the phone
Understanding how to end a phone call
And I know that if I call on George Jones
Aware that calling George Jones may lead to being together again
I'll probably end up with you by the morning
Anticipating a reunion with you if George Jones is called
I'm shaking and groaning
Experiencing physical and emotional distress again
To the sound of the lonesome
Reacting to the sound of solitude once more
Pour me Patron
Requesting another drink of Patron
I don't wanna go home
Refusing to go home
Give me one more round, Promise I'll settle down
Committing to settling down after one more round again
But I said that two hours ago
Acknowledging a broken promise made two hours ago once more
I'm drinkin' alone
Continuing to drink alone
I'm shaking and groaning
Experiencing physical and emotional distress again
To the sound of the lonesome
Reacting to the sound of solitude once more
Pour me Patron
Requesting another drink of Patron
I don't wanna go home
Persisting in the refusal to go home
I'm shaking and groaning
Experiencing physical and emotional distress once more
To the sound of the lonesome
Reacting to the sound of solitude once more
Pour me Patron
Requesting another drink of Patron
I don't wanna go home
Persisting in the refusal to go home once more
Give me one more round
Asking for one more round with the promise to settle down
Promise I'll settle down
Committing to settling down after one more round yet again
Well I said that two hours ago
Repeating the broken promise made two hours ago
I'm drinkin' alone
Continuing to drink alone
Mmm I'm drinkin' alone
Emphasizing the current state of drinking alone
