"Designated Drinker" Lyrics

(A.Jackson)
Alan Jackson & George Strait

Here's my keys, I want you to take them
I think I'm gonna need you to get back home
Hold on to my hat, I dont want to loose it
I couldn't stand for something else to be gone
I'm sure you know the reason I'm here cryin'
I think you'll understand why.

Tonight, I'm the designated drinker
I just lost the one who wrapped me 'round her finger
I need to get to where I can't think of her
So tonight, I'm the designated drinker.

--- Instrumental ---

I came here to get you to help me
I need a friend to see me through
I hated to call, I knew you would'nt mind at all
I know, you know I'd do the same for you
I'm not the kind that likes to drown my sorrows
I may hate myself tomorrow.

But tonight, I'm the designated drinker
I just lost the one who wrapped me 'round her finger
I need to get to where I can't think of her
So tonight, I'm the designated drinker.

--- Instrumental ---

We need to get to where we can't think of her
So tonight, we're the designated drinkers.

Woah tonight, we're the designated drinkers...
