I've nevber been the kind to stay out all night,
An' I'm not the kind to hang in smokey bars.
But it's through those swingin' doors that I find,
The only way to ease my mind.
An' darlin' there you'll find me,
Each night till dawn.
Chorus
'Cause I'd start drinkin',
An' I'd smoke all day to help me cope.
And I'd stay out all night if I thought that it might,
Help me let you go.
I can't say what lies in the bottle,
Can't answer the questions or solve 'em,
Or just just another problem, or the way that I should go.
But if time tells me
The only way to set you free,
Then darlin' your memory will be the first to know.
Chorus
'Cause I'd start drinkin',
An' I'd smoke all day to help me cope.
And I'd stay out all night if I thought that it might,
Help me let you go.

Chorus
'Cause I'd start drinkin',
An' I'd smoke all day to help me cope.
And I'd stay out all night if I thought that it might,
Help me let you go.
I'd stay out all night if I thought that it might,
Help me let you go.
Help me let you go.
Help me let you go.
I gotta let you go.
