Lyrics

A Reason To Drink

I don't have a first ex-wife
I get along with my kids
Don't need to drown my sorrows
No regrets for the things I did
I got a good life and money in the bank
My job is going great
My mother-in-law is miles awa
So I don't have a reason to drink

But here I am once again
Hangin' out with all my friends
Half wasted and listenin' to ol' Hank
Fill `er up, I'll pour it down
Set me up with another round
No, I don't need a reason to drink

Some people drink to forget
Others just to survive
But I don't have a good excuse
'Cause there's really nothin' to hide
I don't care what other people think
But I love this honky-tonk atmosphere
And I like the taste of beer
And that's sure enough a reason to drink

So here I am once again
Hangin' out with all my friends
Half wasted and listenin' to ol' Hank
Fill `er up, I'll pour it down
Set me up with another round
No, I don't need a reason to drink
