Drinking to Distraction (Hanson)

Well, I should have heard you rev your ride
When you pulled your engine up beside
In your silver hubcap hot-rod ride that day
Stars blinking on to be my guide
Technicolor sky stretched out so wide
I never saw you steal my heart away

Now, I sit here in this Country bar
Instead of in the back seat of your dream car
Fogging up my brain—instead of windows

Chorus:
Been drinking to distraction
Losing all my traction
Folding like a suitcase full of worn-out clothes
Can’t let go, oh

And, it’s that speeding, hollow highway sound
Travlin’ through my tires on the ground
We’re always lost before we’re found, my friend
And, I’ve been known to fool around
On that roller coaster ride of rebound
But, I never leave those heart strings as loose ends

Now, I sit here in this Country bar
Instead of in the back seat of your dream car
Fogging up my brain—instead of windows

Chorus:
Been drinking to distraction
Losing all my traction
Folding like a suitcase full of worn-out clothes
Can’t let go, oh

Well, somewhere in this heart of mine
Or in the bottom of this glass of wine,
I’ll find another reason to stop missing you
Can’t keep waiting for you to ring my line
It’s the middle of the night says the clock with its chime
It’s that lonely witching hour when I let those
memories through

Chorus:
Been drinking to distraction
Losing all my traction
Can’t let go
Drinking to distraction
Losing all my traction
Can’t let go, oh
