Not Again Rick

Rick Alan Carpenter

4

I'm not gonna drive myself crazy

Wonderin' where you are tonight

I'm not gonna pick apart every word

That led to our last fight

I'm not gonna lie here in the dark

Imagining what might have been

I'm not gonna drive myself crazy

No, not again

I'm not gonna drink til I fall down

Mumbling apologies

I'm not gonna beg you to take me back

Shufflin' on my bended knees

I'm not gonna stumble to the barroom phone

And call you up at 3 am

I'm not gonna drink til I fall down

No, not again

I'm gonna be a brand new man

Better than I ever was before

I'll forget your name, forget your face

Just as soon as I get up off the floor

I'm not gonna drown in self-pity

Expecting sympathy

I'm not gonna act like the whole wide world

Just caved in on me

I'm not gonna talk about you endlessly

To my few remaining friends

I'm not gonna drown in self-pity

No, not again

I'm not gonna drive myself crazy

No, not again

No, not again

No, not again
