Some people say I drink because you left me
And they say that wine won't drown your memory
The reason that I drink is not to try to ease my mind
I just heard this was a good year for the wine

It doesn't bother me now that you're gone
And I haven't thought about you in so long
And I'm not in this honky tonk cause you're no longer mine
I just heard this was a good year for the wine
[ piano ]
It's not the neon lights that lured me to this tavern
All the lonely souls you're running to inside
And it's not the thought of you that keeps me stumbling all the time
I just heard this was a good year for the wine
I just heard this was a good year for the wine
