Can't tell if I drink because she bitches Or she bitches because I drink Well the hardest part are hard times But I hear that they don't last The best of the free life is still yet to come Leave the past in the past The present is unpleasant Lord it goes by way too fast And the future is looking blurry Thru the bottom of the glass (Chorus) We go round and round, up and down Till neither of us can think Can't tell if I drink because she bitches Or she bitches because I drink Well if I can get off of this barstoll I'm gonna give her a piece of my mind Lord knows that I love that lady And I know I can be unkind I had it all planned out in my head Like some Shakespearean play I walked home, threw the door open wide Forgot what I had to say Chorus Well you think one day I would get a clue Be a stand up kind of guy Instead I wind up flat on my back And I can't tell you why Besides I'll bet that she'd get bored Needing something to keep her in check She hits me up with a lecture And I just hit the deck Chorus Can't tell if I drink because she bitches Or she bitches because I drink.
