Lord Knows I've Been Drinkin'

I've been drinking whiskey, yeah, I've been drinking wine

Lord, just to help, me get you off of my mind

Well, now the bottle's near empty, but that won't stop me now

Just cause the bottle's gone dry, doesn't mean you're around

And I need you today, to carry me home

I can't take no more of this sleepin' alone

Lord knows I've been drinkin', enough whiskey for two

But he'd spare me the sorrow, if I was shootin' em with you

Lord knows I've been drinkin'

Well, it's been awfully cloudy, in this small town these days

And I can't help but wonder, what's causin' this gray

Is it heartbreakin' season in northern Rhode Island

or am I just stuck in my way

Like the wind off the ocean, I'm chilled to my bones

And I can't find the right words to say

But I need you today to carry me home

I can't take no more, of this sleepin' alone

Lord knows I've been drinkin', enough whiskey for two

But he'd spare me the sorrow, if I was shootin' em with you

And I need you like flowers, need the sun and the rain

To help them grow stronger, through the heartache and pain

Lord knows I've been drinkin'

I'll pass out around two

But I'll need somethin' stronger

To lose a lover like you.

Lord knows I've been drinkin'
