Drinking Song Lyrics by Karen Lee Batten

2021

When the hard is hard to take I need a song to numb the pain yeah when it's wrong
I need a drinkin' song
Well I met him at the Blueridge Bar
Two lovers fell fast and hard
He made a pawn shop promise to never be untrue Well that dream it got bought and sold
And the lies couldn't be untold
So leaving was the only thing left to do
Pour it strong yeah....pour it on strong
¨I need a melody to sing when things go wrong When the hard is hard to take, there's a song to numb the pain
Yeah when it's wrong
I need a drinkin' song
That itty bitty diamond ring
Used to mean evеrything
It wasn' t long before the shinе wore off that's true
Yeah well I forgave a few mistakes, but when the repo man towed my truck away I was gone gone gone
Singin' a drinkin song
Pour it strong yeah....pour it on strong
I need a melody to sing when things go wrong When the hard is hard to take, there's a song to numb the pain
When it's wrong
I need a drinkin' song
So when the bad gets the best of you
There's a honkey tonk bar that'll get you through
Drown the hurt in the drink, don't think, just sing along
Pour it strong... yeah pour it on strong
I need a melody to sing when things go wrong Oh when the hard is hard to take, there's a song to numb the pain

Yeah when it's wrong play me a drinkin' song¨
Yeah when it's wrong I need a drinkin' song
Yeah, whatcha got a bourbon?
Ill take a scotch and one beer
