Tying One On

I tried to tell myself we'll work it out

Held on to hoping she'd come back around

I've tried giving it time, just laying low

But tonight, that devil on the shelf says, "To hell with the high road"

So pour 'em tall and strong

I got nothing left to lose

I'm working on getting her gone

Knocking back that straight 80 proof

I tried everything for the hurting

But that moving on ain't working

So tonight I'm tying one on

To cut her loose

Don't know how many that it's gonna take

But I'll be right here until this heart unbreaks

'Cause I've been tangled up too long, hurting on her love

I can't kill it with a beer, just hit me with the hard stuff

So pour 'em tall and strong

I got nothing left to lose

I'm working on getting her gone

Knocking back that straight 80 proof

I tried everything for the hurting

But that moving on ain't working

So tonight I'm tying one on

To cut her loose

To cut her loose, yeah

Don't take me home, home

Till I don't know her name, and I don't know her number

Don't cut me off

Till her memory's six feet under

So pour 'em tall and strong

I got nothing left to lose

I'm working on getting her gone

Knocking back that straight 80 proof

I tried everything for the hurting

But that moving on ain't working

So tonight I'm tying one on

To cut her loose

To cut her loose

Mmm, mmm

Oh yeah
