Merle Haggard - Why Am I Drinkin' lyrics

rate me

(Merle Haggard)

Hey, why am I drinkin'

Rthere's no real reason to quit

And why am I thinkin'

God know I'm trying to forget.

And why does that woman

Who stay on my mind night and day

And why am I drinkin'

Why am I hurtin' this way?

Is love just another word for mem'ry

And is love just another word of pain

The question is that love we really answered

And if so why is love so much to blame?

If love is what we're really after

Then why am I runnin' away

And why am I drinkin'

Why am I hurtin' this way?

--- Instrumental ---

If love is what what we're really after

Then why am I runnin' away

And why am I drinkin'

Why am I hurtin' this way?

Yes honey. why am I drinkin'

Why am I hurtin' this way?...
