When I first met you, I didn`t understand
What a naggin` bitchin` woman can do to a man
Well it seems that the girl I married ain`t quite the same
I thought I knew you better when I gave you my name
Chorus: Now, the only time I`m sober`s when you`re gone
And the bottle is the only thing that keeps me hangin` on
The man on the radio keeps singin` sad sad songs
Like The Only Time I`m Sober`s When You`re Gone
I have no need to travel, anywhere`s too far
And they know me by my first name at all the local bars
I heard that a failin` love can drive a man to drink
I would have left you if I hadn`t been too high to think
(Chorus)
Well, guess I`d better go now, it`s gettin` pretty late
But I`ll be back tomorrow night, so please save my place
And I`ll tell you all about the tales of pain and misery
And the heartaches that you caused by bein` too damn blind to see
(Chorus)
