When I Get to Drinkin'

It always starts out at a little bit of fun

It always starts out that I'm stopping at one

But one leads to another

Numb leads to number

Before you know it, I'm a whole lot of gone

I wake up in the morning, hurting like hell

And if it was a good time, I can't tell

Just like a fool, I keep fooling myself

Say, "I won't"

No I won't

No I won't

I tend to get sad, when the sun gets to sinkin'

I tend to get lonely, when I get to thinkin'

So I tend to get drunk, when I get to drinkin'

I'm A-OK, all day long

'Cause I know what you're doing when the lights are on

When the moon comes out

Then it all goes south

Imagination starts running wild

Something in the dark always gets to me

'Cause somewhere in the dark, you're forgetting me

I can't forget you

But I do my best to

For a while

For a while

For a while

But I tend to get sad, when the sun gets to sinkin'

I tend to get lonely, when I get to thinkin'

So I tend to get drunk, when I get to drinkin'

So tonight, this is it

Yeah, tomorrow I quit

But I won't

No I won't

No I won't

'Cause I tend to get sad, when the sun gets to sinkin'

I tend to get lonely, when I get to thinkin'

So I tend to get drunk

Oh, and I tend to get sad, when Jones gets to singing

I tend to get lonely, lonely, lonely when the phone isn't ringing

So I tend to get drunk, when I get to drinkin'
