Drinking Songs

Walker Hayes

Hey

Smoke rings in a dark room

Broke heart on a bar stool

Ash tray full of burnt out ciga-regrets

Sad sound on a jukebox

Strong stuff on a few rocks

Head full of all the things that I should'a said (Uh)

 

So give me that bourbon and Bocephus

I can't help me so help me Jesus (Jesus)

She ain't coming back like you

She gone (Back like you)

Said what I need is them Williams boys right now

Hank ain't never gon' let me down (Gon' let me down)

Bring them family traditions on (Bring 'em on, bring 'em on, bring 'em on)

Yeah, I'm just keep sittin' here sippin' and singin' along

Thank God for drinkin' and drinkin' songs

 

New girl and a slow dance (Slow dance)

She don't know there ain't no chance (No chance)

I'ma 'member her name when that rooster sings (Ooh, ooh-ooh)

My mama put me on a prayer list

Brother says, "Only time will fix it"

I know they're right, but y'all patience ain't my thing

(No, it ain't, woo)

 

So give me that bourbon and Bocephus

I can't help me so help me Jesus (Jesus)

She ain't coming back like you

She gone (Back like you)

Said what I need is them Williams boys right now

Hank ain't never gon' let me down (Gon' let me down)

Bring them family traditions on (Bring 'em on, bring 'em on, bring 'em on)

Yeah, I'ma just keep sittin' here sippin' and singin' along

Thank God for drinkin' and drinkin' songs

 

But I know this bottle don't love me (Love me)

And I ain't never met Hank

But I know old Juney wouldn't judge me

Singin', "Why do you drink?" (So why do you drink?)

All this whiskey here ain't helping my case

So, give me the heaven with hell

It's the only thing that can't push away like I do everybody else

 

So give me that bourbon and Bocephus

I can't help me so help me Jesus (Jesus)

She ain't coming back like you

She gone (Back like you)

So what I need is them Williams boys right now

Hank ain't never gon' let me down (Gon' let me down)

Bring them family traditions on (Bring 'em on, bring 'em on, bring 'em on)

Yeah, I'ma just keep sittin' here sippin' and singin' along

Thank God for drinkin' and drinkin' songs
