Jason Boland & the Stragglers - Can't Tell If I Drink Lyrics

Cant tell if I drink because she bitches, or if she bitches because I drink.
Well the hardest parts are the hard times, but I hear that they dont last.
The best of the free life is still yet to come, keep the past in the past.
The present is unpleasant, Lord it goes by way to fast.
And the future's looking blurry, through the bottom of the glass.

Chorus
We go round and round, up and down, till neither of us can think.
Cant tell if I drink because she bitches, or if she bitches because I drink.

Well if I can get off of this bar stool, I'm going to give her a piece of my mind.
Lord knows that I love that lady and I know I can be unkind.
I had it all planned out in my head, like some Shakesperian play,
I walked home, through the door open wide, forgot what I had to say..

Chorus
We go round and round, up and down, till neither of us can think.
Cant tell if I drink because she bitches, or if she bitches because I drink.

Well you think one day I'd get a clue, be a stand up kind of guy.
Instead I wind up flat on my back and I cant tell you why.
Besides I bet that she'd get bored, needin something to keep her in check.
She hits me up with a lecture and I just hit the deck.

Chorus
We go round and round, up and down, till neither of us can think.
Cant tell if I drink because she bitches, or if she bitches because I drink.
Cant tell if I drink because she bitches, or if she bitches because I drink.
