I'm drinking like a fish and catching like a mule
Fighting like a chicken and talking like a fool
And I will 'till I don't have to honkey-tonk my blues

'Cause anything's better than thinking about you
Sitting at home, knowing your gone
Watching the phone, drinking alone

I'm roaring like a lion and lying like a dog
Cussing like a sailor and singing like a frog
And I found a few friends who will help me pretend that we ain't through
'Cause anything's better than thinking about you

Sitting at home, knowing your gone
Watching the phone, drinking alone

You left me crying like a child
So like a hog, I'm going wild
You left me crying like a child
So like a hog, I'm going wild

I'm smoking like a chimney and chuging like a train
Drowning like a rat and going down the drain
I'm gonna rock 'till the cock cock-a-doodle-doo

'Cause anything's better than thinking about you
Sitting at home, knowing your gone
Watching the phone, drinking alone
Yeah everything's better than thinking about you
Sitting at home, knowing your gone
Watching the phone, drinking alone
