Day Drinking
Words and Music by Steve Lipton


I've been day drinking all by myself
Trying to lose my memory
I've been slow cooking from the inside out
Wondering what you've done to me

I been lying to my friends, and lying to myself
Now I'm lying in a roadside bar
Cause there ain't no way to drink all day
If you don't get an early start

I was 99 days sober
When the truth set in
That bottle of whiskey won't drink itself
So I guess I’d better begin

To start day drinking all my lonesome
Can't remember which lies are true
I been slow dancing with the devil herself
But her face it looks like you

I've been day drinking all alone
Hollowed from the inside out
Playing Russian roulette with the numbers on my phone
Wearing everybody out

I was 99 days sober
When the truth kicked in
That bottle of whiskey won't drink itself
So I guess I’d better begin

I've been day drinking all by myself
Trying to lose my memory
I've been slow cooking from the inside out
Wondering what you've done to me

I've been writing checks that my body can't cash
And just waiting till the bill comes due.
I been day drinking all by myself
Since the day I found out about you

I was 99 days sober
When the truth kicked in
That bottle of whiskey won't drink itself
So I guess I’d better begin

I've been day drinking all by myself
Trying to lose my memory
I've been slow cooking from the inside out
Wondering what you've done to me
