Drinkin’ to Forget Lyrics by David Allan Coe

Darlin’ Darlin’

1983

Where were you when I was lonely
Looking for my one and only
Drinkin’ to forget while I was
Drinkin’ to forget
Where were you when I was crying
Listening to my poor heart dying
Drinkin’ to forget while I was
Drinkin’ to forget
I’m so glad I finally found
Someone to put my arms around
Someone who doesn’t put me down
For things I used to do
Here’s my heart, go on and take it
Gives me yours and I won’t break it
You won’t ever have to fake it
Love will see us through
Where were you when I was lonely
Looking for my one and only
Drinkin’ to forget while I was
Drinkin’ to forget
Where were you when I was crying
Listening to my poor heart dying
Drinkin’ to forget while I was
Drinkin’ to forget
