If I Stop Drinkin'

(album: Killed The Cowboy - 2023)

(If I stop drinkin')
(Said goodbye)

Slide that bottle down to me
I need me some of that Tennessee
Here's to her not next to me, pour up another round
Make it strong, man, make it burn
I forget how bad it hurts
I'll take hungover over her memory hanging 'round

If I don't take a sip, I'm right back on your lips
I should quit, the only problem is

If I stop drinking, baby, I'll start thinking maybe
I'll hit you up, say, "What's up?" like you never said goodbye
Leaning on a bourbon is the only thing that's working
Without it, I'd be missing you, wishing that you'd change your mind
Yeah, 'cause over me ain't over you
I'm knocking back this hundred-proof
I'm in a mess, scared to death of missing you
If I stop drinking

(If I stop drinkin')
(Goodbye)

I don't wanna go down memory lane
That's a two-line road right to the pain
I still see you like yesterday down on 38

The sunset on your suntan, I can see it in the mirror of your Ray-Bans
This double shot's all I got, I don't stand a chance

If I stop drinking, baby, I'll start thinking maybe
I'll hit you up, say, "What's up?" like you never said goodbye
Leaning on a bourbon is the only thing that's working
Without it, I'd be missing you, wishing that you'd change your mind
Yeah, 'cause over me ain't over you
I'm knocking back this hundred-proof
I'm in a mess, scared to death of missing you
If I stop drinking

(If I stop drinkin')
(Goodbye)

If I don't take a sip, I'm right back on your lips
I should quit, the only problem is

If I stop drinking, baby, I'll start thinking maybe
I'll hit you up, say, "What's up?" like you never said goodbye
Leaning on a bourbon is the only thing that's working
Without it, I'd be missing you, wishing that you'd change your mind
Yeah, 'cause over me ain't over you
I'm knocking back this hundred-proof
I'm in a mess, scared to death of missing you
If I stop drinking

(If I stop drinkin')
(Goodbye)
(If I stop drinkin')
(Goodbye)
