She was gla**y eyed at the bar
Someone stole the keys to her heart
The neon lights they bent the bottles on the shelf
So she bought another round to feel sorry for herself
She'll drink when she's down
She'll drink when he's not around
She'll drink away her paycheck
She'll drink 'cause she's trying to forget
On a barstool with time to pa**
She peels away the label from a longneck gla**
Her cheeks are as red as the leaves in the fall
And she keeps looking down, expecting him to call
She'll drink when she's down
She'll drink when he's not in town
She'll drink away her paycheck
She'll drink 'cause she's trying to forget
The bottle's on the desktop, the guitars in my hand
Like a five star general making his last stand
With every pa**ing second, with every painful shot
I realize just who I am and what I'm not
I'll drink when I'm down
I'll drink when no one else is around
I'll drink every dime of my check
I'll drink 'cause I got so much to forget
