The Only Time Im Sober Is When Youre Gone - Lyrics by Hartsfield


Lyrics
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)
