My Best Drinkin'
Trouble's Brew: Mark Chesnutt's Spirited Reflections in 'My Best Drinkin'
Lyrics
We had a little fight tonight buddy it got vicious
We had a heated argument tonight, and it became intense.
And all the way out the door, I was duckin' dishes
While leaving, I had to avoid being hit by thrown dishes.
I thought I'd let her simmer down just a few degrees
I thought I would let her cool down a bit before addressing the issue.
So I came in here to have a beer or two or three
I came to this place to have a few beers, intending to relax.
That's when I do my best drinkin' when I'm thinkin' about her
I find solace in drinking when contemplating the issues with her.
All the fussin' and fightin', leaves me dyin' of thirst
The conflicts and arguments make me extremely thirsty.
Go ahead and take the keys to my car, make a little room at the bar
Feel free to take my car keys; I'll be spending time at the bar.
Cause buddy when the troubles starts that's when I do my best drinkin'
When troubles arise, that's when I turn to drinking.
Now give me somethin' cold and wet in a long neck bottle
I want a cold and wet drink from a long-necked bottle.
Cause she said, "Some things to me tonight that were hard to swallow"
She said things that are hard to accept or swallow.
It's gonna take me all night long to wash 'em down
It will take me all night to drink and forget what she said.
Cause when she makes me lose my cool one thing I've found
When she makes me lose my temper, I turn to drinking.
That's when I do my best drinkin' when I'm thinkin' about her
Drinking helps when thoughts of her are on my mind.
All the fussin' and fightin', leaves me dyin' of thirst
The conflicts make me incredibly thirsty for a drink.
Go ahead and take the keys to my car, make a little room at the bar
You can take my car keys; I'll be at the bar handling my troubles.
Cause buddy when the troubles starts that's when I do my best drinkin'
When problems arise, that's when I resort to drinking.
I ain't seein' double yet, set 'em up Joe's
I'm not drunk enough to see double; serve me more drinks.
I ain't as think as you drunk I am, hell you outta know
I'm not as intoxicated as you might think; you should know that.
That's when I do my best drinkin' when I'm thinkin' about her
Thinking about her leads me to drink more.
All the fussin' and fightin', leaves me dyin' of thirst
The conflicts and fights make me desperately thirsty.
Yeah go ahead and take the keys to my car, make a little room at the bar
Feel free to take my car keys; I'll be at the bar dealing with troubles.
Cause buddy when the troubles starts that's when I do my best drinkin'
When difficulties arise, that's when I turn to drinking.
Well, I'll tell you when I've had enough, I'm just gettin' loosened up
I'll decide when I've had enough; I'm just getting started.
Cause buddy when love gets tough that's when I do my best drinkin'
When love becomes challenging, that's when I rely on drinking.
