Joe Nichols - Cheaper Than A Shrink Lyrics

I was sittin in a chair at the H & R Block
Some vain accountant pencil pusher runnin up the clock
Said “I'd tallied up your numbers through the end of the year
son, you spent a small fortune on liquor and beer.”

And I said “It's cheaper than a shrink, you don't have to think.
You just pour and drink. Yea 16.50 for a bottle of jack,
No pouring out your heart to some high dollar quack.
Just a flip of the wrist and you're gettin it done,
And gettin just as messed up and havin a lot more fun”.

And it's cheaper than a shrink, you don't have to think
You just pour and drink, yea it's cheaper than a shrink.

Now me and her had this little problem between us
Tryin to prove the gap between Mars and Venus
She said “Honey, I think we need to see a marital councilor”.
I said “All we need to do is slam a case of 12 ouncers.

Cause it's cheaper than a shrink, you don't have to think
You just pour and drink. ‘Bout 18 bucks will get you four 6 packs.
No pouring out your heart to some high dollar quack.
Just a flip of the wrist and you're gettin it done,
And gettin just as messed up and havin a lot more fun”.

And it's cheaper than a shrink, you don't have to think
You just pour and drink, and it's cheaper than a shrink.

If liquor prices soar as high as gasoline,
Then I'd a quit drinkin when I was 19.
It's the oldest, most proven form of therapy
The best thing about it far as I can see is that it's

Cheaper than a shrink, mmm you don't have to think
You just pour and drink, and it's cheaper than a shrink.
Oh you just pour and drink and it's a whole lot cheaper
than some big town ??? , drag it down shrink.
