At a quarter to four she unlocked the door   I just stood there with a blank stare   As she swayed back and forth   And the state she was in she was making no sence   All that liquor made her different   And I knew I could't win   She wasn't the girl that I knew when I met her   She was making a fool of herself and I let her   Swearing and screaming 'till I couldn't even think   That's just how she gets when I drink      She looked at the clock and it was ticking her off   My excuses were useless so it was better not to talk   Threw my clothes in the yard   Broke my last good cigar   And my three wood worked real good   On my old model cars   Her face got red and her neck just got redder   I started to laugh and that really upset her   She poured a bottle of Jack   And half a six pack down the sink   That's just how she gets when I drink      This cold leather couch aint no good for my back   But when she gets like this she don't care about that   She locked me out of our room down the hall   She'll be better in the morning   I'll just let her sleep it off   'Cause I rknow she really loves me   And it doesn't mean a thing   That's just how she gets when I drink
