DRINKING ALONE
(Birch/Douglas) © Rock Music Co Ltd

Sitting on a barstool in a lonely saloon, waiting for a friend to phone.  Looking at the clock, shooting at the moon, it ain't easy when you're drinking alone.

Now some folks like their fun, and some folks like their liquor, and gin is pretty quick but whisky's so much quicker.  And you never wanna go, so set 'em up Joe, it ain't easy when you're drinking alone, I said it ain't easy when you're drinking alone.

The bar is getting crowded, you're fed up to the teeth, now you're in the twilight zone.  Don't wanna lose your seat, but you're busting for relief, it ain't easy when you're drinking alone. 

You see a pretty girl, wanna meet her for a chat, but she ain't on her own, she's got more sense than that.  And you never wanna go, so set 'em up Joe, it ain't easy when you're drinking alone, I said it ain't easy when you're drinking alone. 

And now it's getting late, closing time is near, still waiting for that friend to phone.  You really ought to go but have another beer, it ain't easy when you're drinking alone. 

Now some folks like their fun, and some folks like their liquor, and gin is pretty quick but whisky's so much quicker.  And you never wanna go, so set 'em up Joe, it ain't easy when you're drinking alone, I said it ain't easy when you're drinking alone.
