Lyrics

I CAN’T DRINK AWAY MY MEMORIES OF YOU

I’m sitting on this bar stool in the dark side of the room
Drinking down another ice-cold beer
And I know there’s still another waiting to be poured
So I’ll spend this lonely night alone in here

I can drink away my heartache
I can drink away my pain
I can drink away my days that end so blue
I can drink away my failures
I can drink away my loss
But I can’t drink away my memories of you

You packed your bags and flew out west to find a brand new life
But you didn’t take the time to say good-bye
And a part of me got bitter and I held an evil thought
That your plane would fall in splinters from the sky

I can drink away my heartache
I can drink away my pain
I can drink away my days that end so blue
I can drink away my failures
I can drink away my loss
But I can’t drink away my memories of you

Your letter said that I could keep the house, the truck, the boat
I could sell them off or give it all away
After years of falling out of love you needed to run free
But I never thought our love would fade away

So, I’m sitting on this bar stool in the dark side of the room
Drinking down another ice-cold beer
And I know there’s still another waiting to be poured
So I’ll spend this lonely night alone in here

I can drink away my heartache
I can drink away my pain
I can drink away my days that end so blue
I can drink away my failures
I can drink away my loss
But I can’t drink away my memories of you

I can’t drink away my memories of you
