lyrics

I Don’t Drink But I Am Tonight

Well I don’t drink
but I am tonight
and I don’t flirt
but I think I might
drink a whiskey, and dance, and fight
Gonna make it all… alright tonight

Daddy worked the farm all day
Momma taught us all how to pray
Life was hard but we were fed
We all made the best of it

I met you at my first barn dance
and gave you all my innocence
You broke my heart and walked away
I remembered what momma would say

When you’re down
you push a little harder
make it right
go a little farther
come on girl ya gotta be stronger
time won’t wait on you hut uh

Daddy said you were good for nothin
Momma‘s eyes didn’t need to talk
I should have known, there was always somethin
I figured out I had to walk

I drove down to the Brew and Cue
to get my mind off of you
but you were there and I went red,
and I remembered what my momma said

When you’re down
push a little harder
make it right
go a little farther
come on girl gotta be stronger
time won’t wait on you, … hut uh

Now I don’t drink
but I am tonight
and I don’t flirt
but I think I might
drink a whiskey, and dance, and fight
Gonna make it all… alright tonight

I punched you once
then punched a little harder
To make it right I went a little farther
Now you were red and I was stronger
Just like my momma said

When you’re down
you push a little harder
to make it right
go a little farther
come on girl gotta be stronger
time won’t wait on you

Well I don’t drink
but I am tonight
and I don’t flirt
but I think I might
drink a whiskey and dance and fight
Gonna make it all… alright tonight

I don’t drink
but I am tonight
and I don’t flirt
but I think I might
drink a whiskey and dance and fight
I made it all… alright tonight!
