Drinkin' the Hard Stuff Again

DRINKIN’ THE HARD STUFF AGAIN

 (Verse 1)

 You ask him about her

 He’ll probably make some kind of joke

 Or he might not say a word

 With a lump down in his throat

 (Verse 2)

 And he’s rodeoing again

 Quit his full-time job

 Well, he ain’t riding to win

 He’s ridin’ ‘cause it’s all he’s got

 (Chorus)

 And there’s an empty flask in his guitar case

 And he’s fallin’ for a wild girlfriend

 And he’s drinking the hard stuff again

 (Verse 3)

 Eleven years livin’ clean

 Came crashin’ to an end

 She shattered his last dream

 Now he’s out on a bender

 (Verse 4)

 And he broke his arm last night

 In a bar room fight

 And tonight he thinks he can ride

 Well, he’s probably right

 (Chorus)

 ‘cause there’s and empty bottle in his pickup truck

 That he killed with his wild girlfriend

 And he’s drinking the hard stuff again’

 (Bridge)

 And I saw her up in the stands with her new lover holding her hand

 And she laughed when they opened the gate and he bucked off right at eight

 (Chorus)

 And there’s a stretcher covered in arena dust 

 And he’s calling for his wild girlfriend

 To bring him the hard stuff

 Tonight he’s back on the hard stuff

 He’s drinking the hard stuff again
