Designated Drinker

(With 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 don't wanna lose it
I couldn't stand
For something else to be gone
I'm sure you know the reason I'm here crying
I think you'll understand why

Tonight
I'm the designated drinker
I just lost
The one that wrapped me around her finger
I need to get
To where I can't think of her
So tonight
I'm the designated drinker

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

Oh but tonight
I'm the designated drinker
I just lost
The one that wrapped me around her finger
I need to get
To where I can't think of her
So tonight
I'm the designated drinker

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