I can't drink around, drink around, drink around you I can drink around noon, drink around 5 Drink around any time of day I can drink around a fire, drink around a truck Drink around a stocked-up lake I can drink around a hundred When I get around a honky tonk band But tonight, I'm in trouble 'cause I got one in my hand I can't drink around, drink around, drink around you When the neon hits those eyes 'Cause I know you know what we're gonna do When the whiskey melts that ice When you're looking like that and we're knocking 'em back Girl, we can't drink around the truth You can't drink around, drink around, drink around me And I can't drink around you Starts with a shot, leads to a "Hey, bartender, put hers on mine" Ends in a last call, let's not call it a night In a boots-by-the-bed sunrise We put the hang in the over And the broke right back in this heart Can't blame it on the booze and I sure can't blame it on the bar I can't drink around, drink around, drink around you When the neon hits those eyes 'Cause I know you know what we're gonna do When the whiskey melts that ice When you're looking like that and we're knocking 'em back Girl, we can't drink around the truth You can't drink around, drink around, drink around me And I can't drink around you Pull them bottles off the shelf, pour 'em down the sink Somebody help me out before it's too late I can't drink around, drink around, drink around you When the neon hits those eyes 'Cause I know you know what we're gonna do When the whiskey melts that ice When you're looking like that and we're knocking 'em back Girl, we can't drink around the truth You can't drink around, drink around, drink around me And I can't drink around you Can't drink around, drink around, drink around me And I can't drink around you
