I Lie When I Drink - Dale Watson

Oh I lie when i drink, and I drink a lot,

Don’t belive me when I’ve had a few.

Oh I lie when I drink, and I drink a lot,

I only drink when i’m missin you.

I walk in the bartender rolls his eyes.

At the same time the waitress, she just smiles.

He’s heard the truth about you

She’s heard it too but slightly skewed

I had lied i broke your heart in two.

Oh I lie when i drink, and I drink a lot,

Don’t belive me when I’ve had a few.

Oh I lie when I drink, and I drink a lot,

I only drink when i’m missin you.

At closin' time I’m the last one out the door.

I tip that waitress, that bartender I ignore.

I yell «I'm never comin' back!»

That always makes them laugh.

They know me, I won’t keep my word.

Cause' I lie when i drink, and I drink a lot,

Don’t belive me when I’ve had a few.

Oh I lie when I drink, and I drink a lot,

I only drink when i’m missin you.

I only drink when i’m missin you.
