Drinking For Three (Marvin Shelton)

[VERSE]
We used to park down by the shore, in the tall grass
Your feet up on the dashboard, footprints on the glass
Those memories take hold, and never let me go!

[CHORUS]
I ain't stopping at one, I need more than two
It's the only way, I won't think about you
A six pack or more, sitting at the lake
Hell, I might need a keg, as much as it's gonna take
This is for my truck, my dog and me. 
Yeah, I'm drinking for three

[VERSE]
You always were the first person, that he'd run to
The second that you walked in, he was all over you
He won't chase a ball no more, or even get off the porch!

[CHORUS]
I ain't stopping at one, I need more than two
It's the only way, I won't think about you
A six pack or more, sitting at the lake
Hell, I might need a keg, as much as it's gonna take
This is for my truck, my dog and me. 
Yeah, I'm drinking for three

[BRIDGE]
I don't even want to cast a line
I guess you've out fished me...,
for the last time!

[Instrumental]

[CHORUS 2]
I didn't stop at one, not even two
By the way, I'm still thinking 'bout you
A six pack or more, sitting at the lake
Hell, I might need a keg, as much as it's gonna take 
This is for my truck, my dog and me. 
Yeah, I'm drinking for three
Ever since the day you up and left me,... I've been drinking for three
