Ever since she left me, threw my stuff out on the street
Been hangin' round and closin' down this bar five nights a week
But I know what Dr. Phil would say about self medication
But I'm half lit, he don't know shit about my situation

It's better when I drink
Worser when I don't
Yeah it hurts a little less, the drunker I get
til it's time to go home
Whiskey helps to numb the pain
So I don't have to think
Yeah, it's better when I drink

If you didn't know me you might think I'm on a roll
Havin' one hell of a good time
And not stuck here in this hole
She probably thinks I'm wallowin' around in my self-pity
But lucky for me, there's one or three
Bars in this here city

It's better when I drink
Worser when I don't
Yeah it hurts a little less the drunker I get
til it's time to go home
Whiskey helps to numb the pain
So I don't have to think
Yeah, it's better when I drink

It's better when I drink
Worser when I don't
Yeah it hurts a little less the drunker I get
til it's time to go home
Whiskey helps to numb the pain
So I don't have to think
Yeah, it's better when I drink

Worser when I don't
Yeah it hurts a little less the drunker I get
til it's time to go home
Whiskey helps to numb the pain
So I don't have to think
Yeah, it's better when I drink

Come on girl
Ohhh, yeah
It's better when I drink
It's better when I drink
