[Verse 1]
Don't get it twisted if I start reminiscing, ah
That ain't my mission tonight
My heart ain't broken but this bottle opened
A sugar-coated moment in time
Back when you and I were a-okay
I coulda swore I threw that memory away

[Chorus]
Just so you know girl I ain't drinking 'cause I miss you
I miss you 'cause I'm drinking
Gonna blame it on the ninety proof
It's the Maker's fault I'm thinking
Thinking 'bout us and what might've been
I might be drunk but I still know the difference
I ain't drinking 'cause I miss you
I miss you 'cause I'm drinking

[Verse 2]
I wasn't hurting 'til I started sipping bourbon
Now Kentucky's started stirring the past
I just came here for a good time
How the hell'd you gеt back on my mind?
In the morning I'll be just fine
Thought I was doing bеtter
But for the record
[Chorus]
Just so you know girl I ain't drinking 'cause I miss you
I miss you 'cause I'm drinking
Gonna blame it on the ninety proof
It's the Maker's fault I'm thinking
Thinking 'bout us and what might've been
I might be drunk but I still know the difference
I ain't drinking 'cause I miss you
I miss you 'cause I'm drinking

[Bridge]
Oh oh oh
I miss you, I miss you so bad
I coulda swore I threw that memory away
But I guess liquor likes to hit replay

[Chorus]
Just so you know girl I ain't drinking 'cause I miss you
I miss you 'cause I'm drinking
Gonna blame it on the ninety proof
It's the Maker's fault I'm thinking
Thinking 'bout us and what might've been
I might be drunk but I still know the difference
I ain't drinking 'cause I miss you
I miss you 'cause I'm drinking
I ain't drinking 'cause I miss you
I miss you 'cause I'm drinking
