Lyrics[]
I could be holding you tonight I could quit doing wrong and start doing right You don't care about what I think I think I'll just stay here and drink You're hurting me now, don't square the deal At least you'll know the way I feel I'll take all the money in the bank I think I'll just stay here and drink Listen close and you will hear That old jukebox playing in my ear Ain't no woman gonna change the way I think I think I'll just stay here and drink Hurting you now won't mean a thing Since love ain't here it don't feel the pain My mind ain't nothing but a total blank I think I'll just stay here and drink I think I'll just stay here and drink I think I'll just stay here and drink I think I'll just stay here and drink I think I'll just stay here and drink
