Zen Of Drinking Alone

the suns going down that means it's time to relax
with a bottle of jack, sit back and back track
think of everything that's going on in your life
think of all the memories you'll remember tonight
cause right now you're drinking alone, unplug that phone
you got the monkey on you're back, that you still don't know
you need to introduce yourself, don't keep him locked up
cause when he escapes, after his mess you can't clean up
it's ok to drink alone, look at me i'm nicity
i'm the drunkest motherfucker, just listen to the cd
and how did i get here, man i really don't know
but i wouldn't change it for anything in the world
just a quiet drink at night and i'm off to the past
old relationships and problems are meant to be laughed at
remember the good times and forget the bad
remember the moments, pour yourself another glass
fill it up straight to the top, now don't be scared
they ain't watching that's just your reflection in the mirror
see yourself smiling back, this is how it should've been
you're your own best friend, and you never really knew him
now you got a lot of catching up, remember this well
cause you'll always be together even if your in hell
and when you make it to heaven, remember who got you there
remember who was with you when others wouldn't dare
all those times in the drunk tank, and the times in jail
every minute that you spent drowned in your despair
it was just you, that monkey on your back
stuck in with you when you took that chance
now it may not be tomorow or the day after that
but remember this night and who's got your back
cause one day down the road you two will be together
having another drink that you'll remember forever
