Merle Haggard
Why Am I Drinkin’
[Verse]
Hey, why am I drinking?
Is there really no reason to quit?
And why am I thinking?
God knows I'm trying to forget
And why does that woman
Wanna stay on my mind night and day?
Why am I drinking?
Why am I hurting this way?
Is love just another word for misery?
And is love just another word for pain?
The question is this love really the answer?
And if so, why is love so much to blame?
If love is what we're really after
Then why am I running away?
And why am I drinking?
And why am I hurting this way?
If love is what we're really after
Then why am I running away?
And why am I drinking?
Why am I hurting this way?
Yes honey, why am I drinking?
Why am I hurting this way?
