lyrics

Well, I take a nice long toke
Yeah, I throw back a couple bottles of beer
It's the only way I know how to cope
Man, I gotta fight back the tears
You see, Ive got a lonely way of livin'
Yeah, I'm down most all the time
But the more I drink, it hurts less to think, yeah
And smokin' sure beats cryin'

Well, it sure beats cryin over you
Sittin' in a cloud of smoke with a bottle of booze
I'd rather be drinkin' or gettin' stoned
Than sittin' round cryin' wonderin' if you'll come home

Now, if I get a lonesome feelin'
Or a memory from the past
Well, I know what to do that'll get me through
It might even make me laugh
I got a pain in my heart
That just will not subside
So I light one up and I fill my cup
And I ease the hurtin' inside

Cause it sure beats cryin over you
Sittin' in a cloud of smoke with a bottle of booze
I'd rather be drinkin' or gettin' stoned
Than sittin' round cryin' wonderin' if you'll come home

Well sometimes I go out
Yeah, I try to find me a new friend
But the only thing I've found
Is that it gets too hard to pretend
So I go to where its dark
Yeah, where all the lights are dim
And I'll be there 'till its time to go
And tomorrow I'll be back again

Well, it sure beats cryin over you
Sittin' in a cloud of smoke with a bottle of booze
I'd rather be drinkin' or gettin' stoned
Than sittin' round cryin' wonderin' if you'll come home
Yeah I'd rather be drinkin' or gettin' stoned
Than sittin' round cryin' wonderin' if you'll come home
