lyrics

It's so hard sometimes
Trying to drink you off my mind
So I went to the bar
Tried to kill my lonely heart
When the day is through
I look for you in the same honky tonk

And I'll drink until the cows come home
And I'll sleep through the break of dawn
And I'll weep shen I wake up to find I'm still all alone
And I'll drink until the cows come home
And I'll sleep through the early morn
And I think I was chasing the wrong faces

Drivin my red pick up truck
Through the small town I grew up
Drinkin my mind off you
I stop in at old mama q's
headed on down to the riverside
There's Sarah Rafter skippin' rocks in cut-off jeans
A girl my mama wouldn't approve
But she's so damn hot
She's all I got

And I'll drink until the cows come home
And I'll sleep through the break of dawn
and I'll weep when I wake up to find I'm still all alone
And I'll drinkuntil the cows come home
And I'll sleep through the early morn
And I know I was chasing the wrong faces

I went to the store with my head hangin' low
Ham and cheese sandwich on my mind
In the produce isle,
is where I saw her smile and
wink back at me with those moonshine eyes
But I'm day old bread
Gettin' tossed out with the trash
Then she walked up to me

And we'll drink until the cows come home
And we'll sleep, until the break of dawn
And I'll smile, when I wake up to find she's still in my arms
And we'll drink until the cows come home
And we'll sleep, until the early morn
And I know I was chasing the wrong faces
And I know I was chasing the wrong faces
