We had a little fight tonight buddy it got vicious
And all the way out the door, I was duckin' dishes
I thought I'd let her simmer down just a few degrees
So I came in here to have a beer or two or three

That's when I do my best drinkin' when I'm thinkin' about her
All the fussin' and fightin', leaves me dyin' of thirst
Go ahead and take the keys to my car, make a little room at the bar
Cause buddy when the troubles starts that's when I do my best drinkin'

Now give me somethin' cold and wet in a long neck bottle
Cause she said, "Some things to me tonight that were hard to swallow"
It's gonna take me all night long to wash 'em down
Cause when she makes me lose my cool one thing I've found

That's when I do my best drinkin' when I'm thinkin' about her
All the fussin' and fightin', leaves me dyin' of thirst
Go ahead and take the keys to my car, make a little room at the bar
Cause buddy when the troubles starts that's when I do my best drinkin'

I ain't seein' double yet, set 'em up Joe's
I ain't as think as you drunk I am, hell you outta know

That's when I do my best drinkin' when I'm thinkin' about her
All the fussin' and fightin', leaves me dyin' of thirst
Yeah go ahead and take the keys to my car, make a little room at the bar
Cause buddy when the troubles starts that's when I do my best drinkin'

Well, I'll tell you when I've had enough, I'm just gettin' loosened up
Cause buddy when love gets tough that's when I do my best drinkin'
