Now it's back to the barrooms   Right back to drinkin' again   Someday you'll love me enough to stay with me   And whiskey won't be my best friend   But now it's back to the barrooms again      The bartender knows me, he knows how you do me   And he knows why I'm back here again   He should be given a prize for his patience   'Cause bartenders do understand   So it's back to the barrooms again      With the loud music roaring and the bartender pouring   And my shaky legs trying to stand   It's over and over I've tried to stay sober   But look what a failure I've been   And so it's back to the barrooms again      Oh yes it's back to the barrooms   Right back to drinking again   Maybe someday you'll love me enough to stay with me   And whiskey won't be my best friend   So it's back to the barrooms again   Oh yes it's back to the barrooms again
