Lyrics Cheaper Than A Shrink - Joe Nichols

Cheaper Than A Shrink

I was sittin' in a chair at the H and R Block
Some bean countin' pencil pusher runnin' up the clock
Said, «I've tallied up your numbers through the end of the year
Son you spent a small fortune on liquor and beer»
I said, «It's cheaper than a shrink»
You don’t have to think
You just pour and drink
It’s sixteen-fifty for a bottle of Jack
No pouring out your heart to some high dollar quack
Just a flip of the wrist and you’re gettin' it done
And gettin' just as messed up and havin' a lot more fun
And it’s cheaper than a shrink
You don’t have to think
You just pour and drink
It’s cheaper than a shrink
Now me and her had this little problem between us Tryin' to bridge the gap between Mars and Venus
She said, «Honey, I think we need to see a marital counselor»
I said, «All we need to do is slam a case of twelve ouncers»
'Cause it’s cheaper than a shrink
You don’t have to think
You just pour and drink
'Bout eighteen bucks I’ll getcha four six-packs
No pourin' out your heart to some high dollar quack
Just a flip of the wrist and you’re gettin' it done
Gettin' just as messed up and havin' a lot more fun
And it’s cheaper than a shrink
You don’t have to think
You just pour and drink
And it’s cheaper than a shrink
If the liquor prices soar as high as gasoline
Well, I’d have quit drinkin' back when I was nineteen
It’s the oldest most proven form of therapy
The best thing about it, far as I can see
Is that it’s cheaper than a shrink
You don’t have to think
You just pour and drink
And it’s cheaper than a shrink
Oh, you just pour and drink
And it’s a whole lot cheaper than
Some big town clock hound
Drag you down shrink
