Drinkin’ Songs Song Lyrics

Drinkin’ Songs by Walker Hayes

Hey
Smoke rings in a dark room
Broke heart on a barstool
Ashtray full of burned-out ciga-regrets
Sad sound on the jukebox
Strong stuff on a few rocks
Head full of all the things that I should’ve said

So give me that bourbon and Bocephus
I can’t help me so help me Jesus
She ain’t coming back like you she gone
So what I need is in William’s voice right now
Hank and Evan don’t let me down
Bring them family traditions on
Yeah, I’ma just keep sittin’ here sippin’ and singin’ along
Thank God for drinkin’ and drinkin’ songs

New girl and a slow dance
She don’t know there ain’t no chance
I’ma ‘member her name when that rooster sings
My momma put me on her prayer list
Brother says, “Only time will fix ya”
I know they right, but y’all patience ain’t my thing

So give me that bourbon and Bocephus
I can’t help me so help me Jesus
She ain’t coming back like you she gone
So what I need is in William’s voice right now
Hank and Evan don’t let me down
Bring them family traditions on
Yeah, I’ma just keep sittin’ here sippin’ and singin’ along
Thank God for drinkin’ and drinkin’ songs

Lord, I know this bottle don’t love me (Love me)
And I ain’t ever met Hank
But I know ol’ Junior wouldn’t judge me
Singin’, “Why do you drink?”
All this whiskey here ain’t helping my case
Getting into heaven but hell
It’s the only thing I 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
She ain’t coming back like you she gone
So what I need is in William’s voice right now
Hank and Evan don’t let me down
Bring them family traditions on
Yeah, I’ma just keep sittin’ here sippin’ and singin’ along
Thank God for drinkin’ and drinkin’ songs
