Leave the Drinkin' to Me
About a guy who likes to remind people that they don't need to drink. He likes to remind people that they have good lives and people who love them, unlike the situation he's in, where he feels he has to drink to get by with the fact that he doesn't have anyone in life.

He asked me to go out, a night on the town
He said, "We'll have some fun, throw back a few rounds
The wife and the kids, they don't gotta know
They think I'll be at the ballgame, so let's go"
I said, "Man, you know, you got it so fine
People who love you, a hold on your life
Don't go down that road, you might hit a dead end
And like me smash the bottle, again and again"
(Chorus)
Just leave the drinkin' to me, in my misery
Nobody's at home, I tell myself that I'm free
'Til I'm hanging my head, six shots of more deep
Then regrettin' most of my past
I'll drink one for you; hey, hell, I'll drink two
And toast to the bar, that your good luck holds true
And that you feel the sunshine, and never feel blue
Enjoy the love you're in while it lasts
You don't wanna hit the bottle just to stay off your knees
So just leave the drinkin' to me
She was there sat beside me, on the next stool
Ordered some fancy drink, it was red, white and blue
I looked over and smiled, and she toasted her glass
I said, "I don't mean to pray, ma'am, but I just gotta ask
It's cliche, but what's a girl like you doing here?"
She told a story 'bout a fight that she'd just been in
I laughed and said, "Ma'am, I mean no offense
But take your ass home, don't get drunk over this"
(Chorus)
