[Chorus]
I'm tired of drinkin' Cwhiskey by Fmyself
I'm tired of drinkin' whiskey by myCself
I Fwish you'd take that bottle
And put it Bbright back on the shelf
Cause I'm Ftired of drinkin' Cwhiskey by myFself

I go down to the Cbar most every Fnight
I go down to the bar most every Cnight
The Fgirls don't even notice and the Bbboys all want to fight
But I Fgo down to the Cbar most every Fnight
[Break]

[Verse]
The jukebox has not Cplayed my song in Fyears
The jukebox has not played my song in Cyears
FOn this same old barstool just Bbbackin' shots with beers
And the Fjukebox has not Cplayed my song in Fyears
All my friends have Cgone so far Faway
Said all my friends have gone so far Caway
They Fall went down to Austin Lord I Bbmiss 'em night and day
And Fall my friends have Cgone so far Faway

[Verse]
I'm really not that Cfunny anyFmore
I'm really not that funny anyCmore
I Fused to be a riot, now I'Bbm just a lonely bore
And I'm Freally not that Cfunny anyFmore
Do you think that I could Cstay in town with Fyou
Do you think that I could stay in town with Cyou
It's Fthirty miles to my place and I'm Bbfeelin' tired and blue
Do you Fthink that I could Cstay in town with Fyou
Cause I'm tired of drinkin' Cwhiskey by myFself
I'm tired of drinkin' whiskey by myCself
I Fwish you'd take that bottle
And put it Bbright back on the shelf
Cause I'm Ftired of drinkin' Cwhiskey by myFselfC  F
