Why Am I Drinkin' lyrics

Song information

Artist: Merle Haggard
Album: Going Where The Lonely Go

Lyrics

Hey why am I drinkin' there's no really reason to quit
And why am I thinkin' god know I'm trying to forget
And why does that woman who stay on my mind night and day
And why am I drinkin' why am I hurtin' this way

Is love just another word for mem'ry and is love just another word of pain
The question is that love we really answered
And if so why is love so much to blame
If love is what what we're really after then why am I runnin' away
And why am I drinkin' why am I hurtin' this way
[ steel ]
If love is what what we're really after..
Yes honey why am I drinkin' why am I hurtin' this way
