(Verse 1)

This beer I’m drinkin’

Is keepin’ me from thinkin’

How I messed it all up again

Your tears hit the floor

When I walked out that door

Now I’m drownin’ in what could’ve been

(Chorus)

‘Cause this beer I’m drinkin’

Keeps my heart from sinkin’

Down where the truth begins

The shock and surprise

Of all my damn lies

Left you with no reason to forgive

Now another love’s at an end

And this beer’s my only friend

(Verse 2)

Once upon a time in your laughter

Your eyes would shine ever after

Like the sun risin’ over my soul

But I threw it away

For some foolish game

Now the silence is takin’ its toll

(Chorus)

Yeah this beer I’m drinkin’

Keeps my mind from sinkin’

In the memories I can’t defend

I traded your trust

For the taste of my lust

And now I’ve got nothin’ but sin

Another love’s at an end

And this beer’s my only friend

(Bridge)

I was too blind to see

You were all I’d ever need

Now I talk to these bottles

Like they can set me free

But there’s no talkin’ back

Just echoes and pain

A fool with a memory

He can’t wash down the drain

(Final Chorus)

So this beer I’m drinkin’

Is the only thing linkin’

Me to what I used to be

Your face in the glass

My past on repeat

And the mirror just laughs at me

Another love’s at an end

And this beer’s my only friendYeah, this beer I’m drinkin’

Keeps me from thinkin’...

How dumb a man can be.
