Hey why am I drinkin' there's no really reason to quit And why am I thinkin' God know I'm trying to forget And why does that woman who stay on my mind night and day And why am I drinkin' why am I hurtin' this way Is love just another word for mem'ry and is love just another word of pain The question is that love we really answered And if so why is love so much to blame If love is what what we're really after then why am I runnin' away And why am I drinkin' why am I hurtin' this way [ Steel ] If love is what what we're really after... Yes honey why am I drinkin' why am I hurtin' this way
