“Drinkin'”

Golden Era Style Country Ballad • Sung by Country Cate


Pull up a stool and pour a glass. "Drinkin'" is a raw, honest look at the memories we try to drown and the love that refuses to stay down. If you’ve ever found yourself at last call with nothing but a jukebox and a memory, this one’s for you.
"Drinkin'" captures that classic country storytelling—where the whiskey is strong, but the heartache is stronger.

Lyrics:

Another night, another bottle on that barstool
And on that jukebox, another sad song plays
And with each glass I sip, I feel less and less like a damn fool
But I just can't seem to drink our love away
I tried the whiskey, the tequila, and that sweet merlot
Got sick of Captain Morgan a time or two
But nothing seems to make me forget what we had so long ago
The only memory I can't drink away is you
And my friends have all borne witness to my rise and fall
And when they leave I stay here drinkin' right up until last call
And I just can't seem to drink you off my mind
Although I've tried it oh so many times
I keep telling myself a few more and now I'll be fine
But I just can't seem to drink you off my mind
But I just can't seem to drink you off my mind
Another night, another battle in that bedroom
And I never heard a word you had to say
'Cause I was busy making plans for what would come soon
And now I just can't seem to drink it all away
And my friends have all borne witness to my rise and fall
And when they leave I stay here drinkin' right up until last call
And I just can't seem to drink you off my mind
Although I've tried it oh so many times
I keep telling myself a few more and now I'll be fine
But I just can't seem to drink you off my mind
Now I just can't seem to drink you off my mind
