Lyrics
Finally Quit Drinkin' 'Bout You
Larry Carr/Randy Losoya (c)2009
Been workin' all week, just wanted a brew
So I stopped at a bar to have one or two
I noticed a fellow on the second barstool
Big and burly and he was cryin' like a fool
With a beer in one hand, a cigarette in the other
Cell phone wedged tween his ear and his shoulder
I heard him tell her through the smoke rings he blew
Girl since we've been through
I'll tell you the truth
I finally quit drinkin' 'bout you
I leaned over said "hey buddy, can I borrow that line?"
He said "sure, for a beer, my well's runnin' dry"
Then we talked for a while, 'bout lovin' and livin'
Then his ringtone blared out Hank Junior's "Family Tradition"
With a beer in one hand, a cigarette in the other
Cell phone wedged tween his ear and his shoulder
I heard him tell her through the smoke rings he blew
Girl since we've been through
I'll tell you the truth
I finally quit drinkin' 'bout you
Well I wrote down the line, then a verse and chorus
Sent it off to Nashville to demo it for us
Now he leans on the juke box still downin' his brew
Droppin' them quarters, playing C22
With a beer in one hand, a cigarette in the other
Cell phone wedged tween his ear and his shoulder
I heard him tell her through the smoke rings he blew
Girl since we've been through
I'll tell you the truth
I finally quit drinkin' 'bout you
Yeah, early each mornin' 'bout ten after two
I finally quit drinkin'
Finally quit drinkin' 'bout you
