Lyrics When I Get to Drinkin' - Brandy Clark

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'
