Ever since she left me,
threw myself out on the street
Been hanging around and closing down this bar five nights a week
But I know what Dr. Phil would say about self-medication
But I'm half lit,
he don't know * about my situation
It's bitter when I drink,
worse when I don't
It hurts a little,
it's the drunker I get till it's time to go home
Whiskey helps to numb the pain so I don't have to think
Yeah,
it's bitter when I drink
If you didn't know me,
you might think I'm on the roll
Having one hell of a good time,
not stuck here in this hole
You should probably think some wallowing around in my self-pity
Lucky for me,
there's one of three bars in this here city
It's bitter when I drink,
worse when I don't
It hurts a little,
it's the drunker I get till it's time to go home
Whiskey helps to numb the pain so I don't have to think
Yeah,
it's bitter when I drink
It's bitter when I drink,
worse when I don't It hurts a little,
it's the drunker I get till it's time to go home
Whiskey helps to numb the pain so I don't have to think Yeah,
it's bitter when I drink
Worse when I don't It hurts a little,
it's the drunker I get till it's time to go home
Whiskey helps to numb the pain so I don't have to think
Yeah,
it's bitter when I drink
Come on, girl!
Oh, yeah!
Mmm,
it's bitter when I drink
It's bitter when I drink
