The Only Time I'm Sober Is When You're Gone

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
