I miss you when it's quiet And it's quiet all the time I've been tryin' to break this silence Like you broke this heart of mine There's empties on the counter On the table and the floor Girl, I'm so tired of countin' And I just wanna know How many beers do I gotta down? How many night do I gotta drown myself in a cold case of twenty-four? 'Til I don't miss you anymore This pile of cans keeps gettin' higher and higher These tears ain't gettin' dryer and I wish I could be there with you now Instead of sittin' 'round tryin' to find out How many beers If there's a magic number Then I'd drink just that much Yeah I'd fade away your memory And I'd pick myself back up I keep tryin' but I ain't comin' close 'Cause I can't get drunk enough to let you go So how many beers do I gotta down? How many night do I gotta drown myself in a cold case of twenty-four? 'Til I don't miss you anymore This pile of cans keeps gettin' higher and higher These tears ain't gettin' dryer and I wish I could be there with you now Instead of sittin' 'round tryin' to find out How many beers Yeah how many tabs do I gotta crack? How many cans do I gotta tip back? How many more do I gotta have? To put you in the past Yeah how many beers do I gotta down? How many night do I gotta drown myself in a cold case of twenty-four? 'Til I don't miss you anymore This pile of cans keeps gettin' higher and higher These tears ain't gettin' dryer and I wish I could be there with you now Instead of sittin' 'round tryin' to find out How many beers
