lyrics

What do you do when you're troubled
I guess I'll have a beer
'Cause isn't that what it's there for?
To make your conscience clear
But just as soon as it hits you
It kicks up all of the dirt
All that shit you thought you were over
Well man this one's gonna hurt
'Cause I drink to forget, and this is what I get
The way you said goodbye appears before my eyes
I'll see it 'til I die, or at least until I'm dry
'Cause I drink to forget, and this is what I get

Now I'm trying to go faster
To get ahead of the race
When I think I see the finish
Turns out it's just your face
I hear your voice in the distance
Saying, "Have a drink on me."
Well if if just gets me past you
I guess I must agree
So I drink to forget, and this is what I get
The way you said goodbye appears before my eyes
I'll see it 'til I die, or at least until I'm dry
'Cause I drink to forget, and this is what I get
