My Drinkin Problem

She said she's gonna quit me
If I didn't quit the booze
So I just started drinkin' more
To see if she would really choose
And I have to hand it to that girl
She meant every breath
An' I'm glad she did, 'cause I was about
To drink myself to death

Because my drinkin' problem left today
She packed up all her things and walked away
Well, it looks like off the bottle now is where I'm gonna stay
Because my drinkin' problem left today

Well, she said I had problems
Boy, was she ever right?
To keep from goin' home to her
I'd stay out, drunk, all night
And I believe that woman left me
In the nick of time
If she'd a-stayed much longer
I'd have drinked up my last dime

Because my drinkin' problem left today
She packed up all her things and walked away
And it looks like off the bottle now is where I'm gonna stay
Because my drinkin' problem left today

Yeah, it looks like off the bottle now is where I'm gonna stay
Because my drinkin' problem left today
