Lyrics

VERSE
She loved the bad boys; now, she has two kids
Bad boys gone, of course; out having some good times
There’s no one else to blame; she knows what she did
But it sure has made her life a tough uphill climb

PRE-CHORUS
And if not for her best friend
She would not know what to do

CHORUS
(So) She drinks herself to sleep
Otherwise, the pain cuts way too deep
There’s just no other way to get up and face the day
So she fills her glass and drinks herself to sleep

VERSE
High-school education; good jobs hard to find
It took some years; now she’s makin’ pretty good bucks
But all the stuff she has to take really messes with her mind
Leaves her bad worn out, but she can’t afford to press her luck

Repeat CHORUS/VERSE
Now her mom and dad have become somewhat infirm
She’s in her late forties, and there’s no man to share her heart
Her folks now live with her; she hopes short term
And she wonders whether life could grant her a new start

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
She just fills her glass and drinks herself to sleep
