Lyrics

I Just like to Drink Alone
words and music by Carole Nelson

It isn't because I'm sad or anything
And it isn't because I need a few
To take the edge from what I'm feeling
And it isn't because life's a bitch
That wears you to the bone
I just like to drink alone

And it isn't because I've got a bad case of the blues
And it isn't because I'm a loser
With nothing left to lose
And it isn't because you just slammed down the phone
I just like to drink alone

Well this place is fine
It suits my mood
Got my back to the wall
I can sit and reflect
If nobody intrudes
How she who climbs highest has furthest to fall

And it isn't because I'm fighting back the tears
Damned if I'll cry
I'll have a couple more of those beers
And I'll sit here till they send us all back home
I just like to drink alone
