Alcohol in the Bloodstream lyrics

I came home to find you were gone

On a cold grey morning I remember now

That's the way you said it would be

Like living in a bad dream

Alcohol in the bloodstream

Goin' to have to do - 'til I forget about you

Ooo- 'til I forget about you

Some dead wild flowers

And a bottle of vodka on the kitchen table

Flowers for the good times and booze for the bad

I can curse I can scream

But alcohol in the bloodstream

'Bout the best I can do - 'til I forget about you

Ooo - 'til I forget about you

Now my strings are all unstrung

Everything I could do I've done

Just waiting for daylight to come, to come

(Instrumental)

I wonder where you've gone

And I wonder how long I can take this loneliness

Two hundred first calf heifers and a deal is a deal I guess

Then I'll roll my bed get away clean

Alcohol in the bloodstream

Goin' to quit you too

Then I'll forget about you

Ooo - 'til I forget about you

Ooo - 'til I forget about you

(one down-stroke)

Ooo - 'til I forget about you
