    Story Behind the Song
    An off hand remark "if you want to drink like a man you gotta lie like a dog" inspired this song.

    Lyrics
    DRINK LIKE A MAN

    IF YOU WANT TO DRINK LIKE A MAN
    YOU GOTTA LIE LIKE A DOG
    DRINK LIKE A MAN
    STRAIGHT FACED LIKE A LOG
    DRINK LIKE A MAN
    YOU KNOW THAT IT'S TRUE
    HONEY I DO ALL MY DRINKING FOR YOU
    IT’S TRUE; I DO IT ALL CAUSE OF YOU

    SLIDE ONTO MY SEAT ABOUT A HALF PAST FOUR
    KNOCK BACK A QUOCK ONE AND MOTION FOR MORE
    YOU SEE IT'S NOT LIKE I MIND BEING HOME WITH MY SPOUSE
    BUT SHE DON'T MIX A DRINK LIKE THEY DO AT JOE'S ROAD HOUSE
    SEE IT'S TRUE, I DO IT ALL CAUSE OF YOU

    IF YOU WANT TO DRINK LIKE A MAN
    YOU GOTTA LIE LIKE A DOG
    DRINK LIKE A MAN
    STRAIGHT FACED LIKE A LOG
    DRINK LIKE A MAN
    YOU KNOW THAT IT'S TRUE
    HONEY I DO ALL MY DRINKING FOR YOU
    IT’S TRUE; I DO IT ALL CAUSE OF YOU

    NOW ME AND THE BOYS BEEN TALKING AND WE JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
    SEE, THEIR EX-WIVES USED TO SAY THE SAME THINGS, MAN
    AND I KNOW YOU SAY MY DRINKING PUTS MY BRAIN IN A STEW
    BUT YOU LOOK SO GOOD AFTER I'VE HAD A FEW
    SEE IT'S TRUE; I DO MY DRINKING FOR YOU!

    COME IN AFTER MIDNIGHT, BLITZED TO THE MAX
    IN THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR AND RIGHT OUT THE BACK
    MUST'VE LOOKED LIKE I WAS DEAD! OR LIKE SOME OLD DOOR MAT
    CAUSE SOME GUY JUMPING OUT YOUR WINDOW LEFT A FOOTPRINT ON MY BACK
    SEE IT'S TRUE; I DO IT ALL CAUSE OF YOU

    SEE IF IT WASN'T FOR ME ALWAYS BEING SO DRUNK
    YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TIME TO SHACK UP WITH THAT HUNK
    I'D PROBABLY BE MAD, THERE'D BE BLOODSHED YOU'D SEE!
    BUT THE BLOOD THAT'D BE SPILLED WOULD PROBABLY ALL COME FROM ME
    SO YOU SEE, I DO MY DRINKING FOR YOU AND FOR ME!
