Listen to the thunder, smell the rain
Watching that creek roll Lord it always seems the same
I've been waiting on a day like this
To sit right here all day long with a fifth of whiskey in my fist
I drink to remember
And I drink to forget
And I drink till it all makes sense
And I drink to the memory
Of a time long ago
And I drink to the things I can't let go
It ain't a woman, and I ain't down
If you can believe it I'm drinking to remember not to drown
I'm thinking 'bout the good times I've had
Trying to remind myself that life really ain't been all that bad
I drink to remember
And I drink to forget
And I drink till it all makes sense
And I drink to the memory
Of a time long ago
And I drink to the things I can't let go
It's hard to get to the bottom of it
When you're at the bottom of a bottle
It may seem crazy
But it's working for me
I drink to remember
And I drink to forget
And I drink till it all makes sense
I drink to the memory
Of a time long ago
And I drink to the things
I drink to remember
And I drink to forget
And I drink till it all makes sense
I drink to the memory
Of a time long ago
And I drink to the things I can't let go
I can't let go
