Drunkard

Maybe she's been out of town for a spell
With some brand new love she found
All I know is that since she's been gone
I can't stop stumblin' around

Or maybe she's just out catting around
Cause I'm not the cat's meow
All I know is that when I'm alone
I can't put this bottle down

Chorus
A woman's love can set you free
Or wrap your heart in chains
She locked my heart up tight
And threw away the key
She made a drunkard out of me

Maybe she's just playing hard to get
Cause she cares for me so much
And I can win back her love someday
As soon as I sober up

But for now I'm going to sit here and drink
And forget about the past
Cause love is like a pitcher of beer
It's good but it never lasts

Chorus
A woman's love can set you free
Or wrap your heart in chains
She locked my heart up tight
And threw away the key
She made a drunkard out of me

Bridge
Maybe one day she'll come back
And say "baby I've missed you
So I've come back to stay"
And maybe if she does
I'll throw my liquor away
Or maybe I'll just look at her
And say

Chorus
A woman's love can set you free
Or wrap your heart in chains
She locked my heart up tight
And threw away the key
She made a drunkard out of me
