lyrics

There's plenty of nights of drinking that I don't remember
Try as I might, the whiskey's a memory clot
Unlike most, that don't mean regrets, I ain't made all that many yet
But I do think that I've missed out on a lot

There's probably times that things could have gone a lot better
If my vision weren't blurred and my mind could stand itself up
Arguments, relationship woes, fist fights and terrible shows,
My body, my mind, and my liver all bruised from the cup

What is it about drinking that I find so fun?
Why is it that two drinks are always better than one?
I can't help but think that someday I'll give it up
But for now I just can't convince myself I've had enough

Now don't get me wrong, drinking is my favorite pastime
I swear there's even plenty of times I drink for the taste
It sure makes you feel so grand when it starts to get hard to stand
And you yell and you sing, all your inhibitions erased

What is it about drinking that I find so fun?
Why is it that two drinks are always better than one?
I can't help but think that someday I'll give it up
But for now I just can't convince myself I've had enough
Yeah for now I just can’t convince myself I’ve had enough
