Cheaper Than A Shrink Lyrics - Old Things New - Joe Nichols

I was sittin' in a chair at the H and R Block 

Some bean countin' pencil pusher runnin' up the clock 

Said, "I've tallied up your numbers through the end of the year 

Son you spent a small fortune on liquor and beer" 

I said, "It's cheaper than a shrink" 

You don't have to think 

You just pour and drink 

It's sixteen-fifty 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 

It's cheaper than a shrink 

Now me and her had this little problem between us 

Tryin' to bridge the gap between Mars and Venus 

She said, "Honey, I think we need to see a marital counselor" 

I said, "All we need to do is slam a case of twelve ouncers" 

'Cause it's cheaper than a shrink 

You don't have to think 

You just pour and drink 

'Bout eighteen bucks I'll getcha four six-packs 

No pourin' out your heart to some high dollar quack 

Just a flip of the wrist and you're gettin' it done 

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 the liquor prices soar as high as gasoline 

Well, I'd have quit drinkin' back when I was nineteen 

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 

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 clock hound 

Drag you down shrink
