I'M Not Drinking Anymore, But, I Ain'T Drinking Any Less
I'm not drinking anymore (but I ain't drinking any less)
I wake up every morning
It always starts the same
Trying to remember yesteday
It's just part of the game
Lord, I can't go on not remembering last night
I can't keep livin' hard I must confess
Lord, I 'm here to say I'm not drinking anymore
But, then again, I ain't drinking any less
I'm not drinking anymore
I'm not drinking any less
I'm tired of sleeping on the floor
My life is one hot mess
A room of empty bottles
Ashtrays full up to the brink
I look at them and all I feel
Is that I need another drink
This can't go on forever
I can't deal with all the stress
I'm not drinking anymore
But, I ain't drinking any less
Lord, I can't go on not remembering last night
I can't keep livin' hard I must confess
Lord, I 'm here to say I'm not drinking anymore
But, then again, I ain't drinking any less
