Drinkin’ Away the Good Times (While I’m Washin’ Away the Bad) Lance Kirtley
Another drink, another dollar
Sittin’ in this bar
I don’t know and I guess I don’t care
But I wonder where you are
Are you really happy with him
Do you miss what we once had
I try to get on with my life baby
But the hurt makes me oh so sad
So I’m drinkin’ away the good times
While I’m washin’ away the bad
I just can’t seem to get it right
No matter how I try
It seem to me those who get ahead
Are the ones who cheat and lie
You can thank him for using you
And fault me for bein’ too nice
They say that good guys finish last
I’m tired of payin’ that price
So I’m drinkin’ away the good times
While I’m washin’ away the bad
(Instrumental)
I’ve lost some time in my memory
My mind is in a haze
I can’t remember what I was doin’
When I wasn’t in this place
All those nights of drinkin’ with friends
Still goin’ home all alone
What was happening in the outside world
Things goin’ on that I’ve never known
I was drinkin’ away the good times
While I was washin’ away the bad
I finally found the self respect
I needed for so long
Sometimes it’s harder than you’d expect
To turn right what’s gone so wrong
The drinking felt good for a little while
It took away all my pain
The comfort I found cost me oh so much
But now I’m back on track again
No more drinkin’ away the good times
While I’m washin’ away the bad
No, no no more
Drinkin’ away the good times
While I’m washin’ away the bad
