I Only Think About You When I'm Drunk

(Tom T. Hall)



Well, I don't think about you when I'm bowlin'

I don't think about you when I'm playin' golf

I don't think about you when I go out huntin'

And when I'm tryin' to catch it bad you don't cross my mind at all.



I don't think about when I'm hungry

I don't think about you when my donots dump

I don't think about you when I'm lonely

Oh, I only think about you when I'm drunk.



When I get out of this jail

I'm gonna go straight

I'd go straight back to that bar

And tell my frinds they'd better not wait.



'Cause I ain't gonna be drinking anymore

Hey, I know I've said that once or twice before

Well, I'm tired of having two drinks and seeing my ship of happiness sunk

And I only think about you, you when I'm drunk.

Well, I don't think about you when I'm cookin'

I don't think about you when I'm makin' bed

And I don't think about you when I'm muffin'

And when I think to making love, well, you might as well be dead.



I don't think about you when I'm readin'

I don't think about you when I see your junk

I don't think about you on your birthday

I only think about you when I'm drunk.



So when I get out of this jail

I'm gonna go straight

I'd go straight back to that bar

And tell my frinds they'd better not wait.



'Cause I ain't gonna be drinking anymore

Hey, I know I've said that once or twice before

Well, I'm tired of having two drinks and seeing my ship of happiness sunk

And I only think about you, you when I'm drunk...
