I Lie When I Drink Lyrics by Dale Watson

Blackjack

2013

Oh, I lie when I drink and I drink a lot
Don't belive me when I’ve had a few
Oh, I lie when I drink and I drink a lot
I only drink when I'm missing you
I walk in, the bartender rolls his eyes
And at the same time the waitress, she just smiles
He's heard the truth about you
She’s heard it too but slightly skewed
I had lied, I broke your heart in two
Oh, I lie when I drink and I drink a lot
Don't belive me when I've had a few
Oh, I lie when I drink and I drink a lot
I only drink when I'm missing you, yeah
At closin' time I'm the last one out the door
I tip that waitress, that bartender I ignore
I yell, "I'm never comin' back!", that always makes ’em laugh
They know me, I won’t keep my word
'Cause’ I lie when I drink and I drink a lot
Don't belive me when I've had a few
Oh, I lie when I drink and I drink a lot
I only drink when I'm missing you
I only drink when I’m missing you
