She said she's gonna quit me,
If I didn't quit the booze
So I just started drinkin' more,
To see if she would really choose
And I have to hand it to that girl:
She meant every breath
An' I'm glad she did, 'cause I was about,
To drink myself to death

Because my drinkin' problem left today
She packed up all her things and walked away
Well, it looks like off the bottle now is where I'm gonna stay,
Because my drinkin' problem left today

-Instrumental Break-

Well, she said I had problems:
Boy, was she ever right?
To keep from goin' home to her,
I'd stay out, drunk, all night
And I believe that woman left me,
In the nick of time
If she'd a-stayed much longer,
I'd have drinked up my last dime

Because my drinkin' problem left today
She packed up all her things and walked away
And it looks like off the bottle now is where I'm gonna stay,
Because my drinkin' problem left today

Yeah, it looks like off the bottle now is where I'm gonna stay,
Because my drinkin' problem left today
