3rd Place
“Staying Single, Seeing Double”
Michael Waters, Jr.
Brooklet, Georgia

She says I drink too much and I sing too loud
My hair’s too long and I’m way too proud
I work too much and play too hard
I sleep most nights at the corner bar
She’s on my case every time I see her
Hell, no wonder my friends say I should leave her

(Chorus)
She use to be the pick me up when I was down
The push me over when I drank that Crown
The fill me up with that big ole smile
And the drown me out when she was gone for miles
Now I can’t seem to handle her troubles
So I think I’ll stay single and see double

Well, you know I still drink that Crown and I roll home late
She says I should just marry that old honky-tonk place
And it sounds pretty good ‘cause that bar doesn’t whine
It only drowns those thoughts of her when she crosses my mind

She use to be the pick me up when I was down
The push me over when I drank that Crown
The fill me up with that big ole smile
And the drown me out when she was gone for miles
Now I can’t seem to handle her troubles
So I think I’ll stay single and see double

Well, the more she’s complaining
The more I’m drinkin’
And it’s high time she gets that pretty head to thinkin’

To when she was the pick me up when I was down
The push me over when I drank that Crown
The fill me up with that big ole smile
And the drown me out when she was gone for miles
Now I’m done handling all her troubles
So I’m staying single and seeing double
Yeah, I’m staying single and seeing double
