"Drinking Songs" lyrics - WALKER HAYES

Hey
Smoke rings in a dark room
Broke heart on a bar stool
Ash tray full of burnt out ciga-regrets
Sad sound on a jukebox
Strong stuff on a few rocks
Head full of all the things that I should'a said (Uh)

[Chorus:]
So give me that bourbon and Bocephus
I can't help me so help me Jesus (Jesus)
She ain't coming back like you
She gone (Back like you)
Said what I need is them Williams boys right now
Hank ain't never gon' let me down (Gon' let me down)
Bring them family traditions on (Bring 'em on, bring 'em on, bring 'em on)
Yeah, I'm just keep sittin' here sippin' and singin' along
Thank God for drinkin' and drinkin' songs

New girl and a slow dance (Slow dance)
She don't know there ain't no chance (No chance)
I'ma 'member her name when that rooster sings (Ooh, ooh-ooh)
My mama put me on a prayer list
Brother says, "Only time will fix it"
I know they're right, but y'all patience ain't my thing
(No, it ain't, woo)

[Chorus:]
So give me that bourbon and Bocephus
I can't help me so help me Jesus (Jesus)
She ain't coming back like you
She gone (Back like you)
Said what I need is them Williams boys right now
Hank ain't never gon' let me down (Gon' let me down)
Bring them family traditions on (Bring 'em on, bring 'em on, bring 'em on)
Yeah, I'ma just keep sittin' here sippin' and singin' along
Thank God for drinkin' and drinkin' songs

[Bridge:]
But I know this bottle don't love me (Love me)
And I ain't never met Hank
But I know old Juney wouldn't judge me
Singin', "Why do you drink?" (So why do you drink?)
All this whiskey here ain't helping my case
So, give me the heaven with hell
It's the only thing that can't push away like I do everybody else

[Chorus:]
So give me that bourbon and Bocephus
I can't help me so help me Jesus (Jesus)
She ain't coming back like you
She gone (Back like you)
So what I need is them Williams boys right now
Hank ain't never gon' let me down (Gon' let me down)
Bring them family traditions on (Bring 'em on, bring 'em on, bring 'em on)
Yeah, I'ma just keep sittin' here sippin' and singin' along
Thank God for drinkin' and drinkin' songs
