Drink The Hurt Away

Another country influenced lyric I've been working on - this time in the form of a duet.

Drink The Hurt Away
(S. Telford)

Do you come to this bar often?
I hope that I'm not being rude
But do you mind if I sit down?
I'm just not feeling very good.
I've been drowning all my sorrows
I've been avoiding all his calls
I'm fed up of hearing sorries
What did you say your name was?

No I've never been here before
And no you're company is nice
So pull up a stool and sit down
And you can give me some advice
I've been drowning all my sorrows
And I've been drinking since half two
I'm so tired of saying sorry
My name's lonely, what about you?

Waiter bring us more beer
There's an emergency over here
And we could be talking all day
We're two strangers alone
And we don't wanna go home
I guess we'll just stay
And drink the hurt away.

I'll have to come here more often
It's not the worst place I've been to
And it's been a good distraction
So I guess that I should thank you
Yeah I'll probably come back here
I've got nothing better to do
I've enjoyed the conversation
Now it's my turn to say thank you

Waiter bring us more beer
There's an emergency over here
And we could be talking all day
We're two strangers alone
And we don't wanna go home
I guess we'll just stay
And drink the hurt away.

Thanks for tonight
No it's really alright
Get home safe and sound
And I'll see you around

Waiter bring us more beer
There's an emergency over here
And we could be talking all day
We're two strangers alone
And we don't wanna go home
I guess we'll just stay
And drink the hurt away.
