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
