Lyrics Drinkin' Back - Billy Joe Shaver

Drinkin' Back

Hello barroom, my old friend
Yeah, it’s me, I’m drunk again
Like I’ve been ever since she went away
Now I’m just drinkin' back the part
That used to be my heart, 'cause after all
I just drank it away
Yeah, I’m drinkin' back the memory
Of a sweet little woman
So, Mr. Bartender, please let me stay
I’ve already drank about a year ago this Monday
She’ll be mine Tuesday
If I can drink back yesterday
A little girl I drank away got hung up in yesterday
I didn’t know time could move by this fast
Now, yesterday seems far away
Life just moved up another day
So, I’m just thinking Lord and drinkin' back the past
Yeah, I’m drinkin' back the memory
Of a sweet little woman
So, Mr. Bartender, please let me stay
I’ve already drank about a year ago this Monday
She’ll be mine Tuesday
If I can drink back yesterday
She’ll be mine Tuesday if I can drink back yesterday
