(verse 1)
Why you keep me around?
When you can have any one in this town
Am I the best you hope for
Just the best that you found
And there's no way to explain it,
But either way you know I'll take it.
Through the haze of the whisky lights
And the haze of the angels dressed in cocaine white.
I'm not trying to make you change
But love, I know what I like
First you play along, you know what's wrong
But then it starts feeling right.
(chorus)
And all the more I drink
The less I feel sorrow
The more I make
The less that I borrow
The more I love you
The less that I feel alone
Stoned, kicking my heels alone,
Stoned, kicking my heels alone.
(verse 2)
Every person and place that I've been
I keep seeing the same thing all over again
See even God needs the devil
And I'm one hell of a friend
If it makes you feel much better
At least we're going down together
(chorus)
How the more I drink
The less I feel sorrow
The more I make
The less that I borrow
The more I love you
The less that I feel alone
Stoned, kicking my heels alone.
Stoned, kicking my heels alone.
Yeah, yeah-hey
Yeah-yeah-hey.
Yeah-yeah-hey.
(bridge)
Don't wanna worry the rest of my life
Just wanna stay here and have a good time
come on now
Don't wanna worry the rest of my life.
Just wanna stay here and have a good time
(chorus)
How the more I drink
The less I feel sorrow
The more I make
The less that I borrow
The more I love you
The less that I feel alone
Stoned, kicking my heels alone.
Stoned, kicking my heels alone.
How the more I drink yeah
The less I feel sorrow
The more I make
The less that I borrow
The more I love you
The less that I feel alone
Stoned, kicking my heels alone.
Stoned, kicking my heels alone.
Stoned, kicking my heels alone.
Stoned, kicking my heels alone.
