Now I've tried everything to get you off of my mind
And every night I get higher than a Georgia pine
But the way that I'm goin' I'll soon be on skid row
But I've got to stay high so I won't feel so low
I'm the first one to admit that I drink quiet a lot
But it helps me to forget the love I haven't got
If I sobered for a minute my tears would start to flow
So I've got to stay high so I won't feel so low
I've got to stay high to keep from a feelin' low
I'll drink here till it's closin' time and then I'll get a case to go
Well everybody thinks I'm happy but they just don't know
That I've got to stay high to keep from feelin' so low
[ guitar - steel ] I've got to stay high to keep from a feelin' low...
