Since I started drinkin' again
Since I started drinkin' again (Hey girl)
I ain't shed one lousy tear over you
Since I started drinkin' again
Well I know that the neighbours are all a-talkin'
They swear that I have lost my mind
Ah but they do not know
That I've just gained control
Of all the heartache that you left behind
Since I started drinkin' again
Since I started drinkin' again (Ah girl)
Well I ain't shed one lousy tear over you
Since I started drinkin' again
Well I know that the boss is a-gonna fire me
When I stumble in late to work again
Ah but surprise will replace that old scowl on his face
When he sees that I do not give a damn
Since I started drinkin' again
Since I started drinkin' again (Hey girl)
Well I ain't shed one lousy tear over you
Since I started drinkin' again
Well I ain't shed one lousy tear over you
Since I started drinkin'
Since I started drinkin'
Since I started drinkin' again (Hey girl)
