She Got Drunk Last Night

She was flagging down the waiter
She was feeling ‘bout as faded as the flowers on that wallpaper
Nobody even asked for her ID when she walked in there
Don’t know how long she’d been there
She was fixing up her hair and fumbling through her purse
She was tired of feeling lonely, she was tired of feeling old
She was hating the idea of going home alone

So she got drunk last night
Drunk enough to call that number in her phone
That she would never call without the alcohol
But she needed an excuse to let herself get used
And so that’s why

She got drunk the way she’d never
The way she hadn’t in forever
But she needed to feel better and wanted and beautiful
Even if he didn’t love her and it had been a long time over
She had to make one more mistake and she couldn’t do that sober

So she got drunk last night
Drunk enough to call that number in her phone
That she would never call without the alcohol
But she needed an excuse to let herself get used
And so that’s why, oh, she got drunk last night

Yeah, she needed an excuse to let herself get used
And so that’s why she got drunk last night
She got drunk last night
