She Drinks Herself to Sleep (Country)

Lyrics
VERSE
She loved the bad boys; now, she has three kids
Bad boys gone, of course; out havin' some good times
There's no one else to blame; she knows what she did
But it sure has made her life a tough uphill climb

PRE-CHORUS
And if not for her best friend
She would not know what to do

CHORUS
(So) She drinks herself to sleep
Otherwise, the pain cuts way too deep
There's just no other way to get up and face the day
So she fills her glass and drinks herself to sleep

VERSE
It seems, in her world, good jobs are hard to find
And though it took some time, she's now holding her own
But every day is so hard that it's messing with her mind
Leavin' her bad worn out, but she knows she can't give up

Repeat CHORUS/VERSE
Her kids are grown and gone; she gave them a good start
But now she's in her late forties, and there's no man to share her heart
Her folks are gettin' old; she hopes they'll be okay
And she wonders whether life could grant her a new start

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
She just fills her glass and drinks herself to sleep
