I know it's hard, to understand

What happened last night, so listen my friend

The words came out, somethin' like this

If I see her new boyfriend, yeah I'm throwin' fists



And then sure enough, guess who walked in

You got up in his face, and started cussin' at him

No it wasn't pretty, you embarrassed yourself

You're lucky you're here, and not in a cell (and)



Courage from the bottle never helped a man win,

And Jack, Jim and Jose they ain't your real friends

I know how you feel and what you were thinkin',

But what were you drinkin'?



Just gimme one second, no it doesn't stop there

You knocked over a table, and you broke a good chair

Fightin' that fight, made you look like a kid,

Your ex was cryin', because what you did (and)



Courage from the bottle never helped a man win,

And Jack, Jim and Jose they ain't your real friends

I know how you feel and what you were thinkin',

But what were you drinkin'?



There's lots of people, that've been there too

With a hole in their heart, and a bottle of booze

When they get goin', their ship starts sinkin'

They'll wake up next mornin' sayin', what was I drinkin'?
