lyrics

Drinkin’ Woman

INTRO Am C G

I need a drinkin’ woman only she can understand
And go thru life as the wife of a cruel drinkin’ man

With a drinkin woman I never need to be redeemed
Things are always better for worse than they seem

She understands good men fail,
Great men fight on everyday
She holds up her head,
Don’t give a damn what people say

CHORUS

When I’m on the floor, lord, paying for my sin
She pours another drink and
Tells me I’ll win in the end

We’ll laugh and cry in one refrain
No ones to blame, it reminds me how lucky I am

CHORUS

A sober woman often sits on the fence
Acts very careful and always tries to make sense

I don’t drink - to kill some pain
To forget or be happy - it’s just to calm my brain

I need a drinkin’ woman only she can withstand
And go thru life as the wife of a cruel drinkin’ man
And go thru life as the wife of a cruel drinkin’ man
Go thru life as the wife of a drinkin’ man
