This one's about letting your lovely lady know how much drinking with your buddies means to you.

lyrics

Darling, I'm leaving for drinking
And don't you take it that hard
I'll be out late but don't get to thinking
That I'll be trouble 'round roaming the dark

I know sometimes it's too hard to handle
Us men being boys every night
And who do we think that we're kidding?
And come on, we can't think it's right

But if I do it, then I do it for a reason
And believe me, it's something I must
What's the one thing that binds us together?
That's right, darling, that one thing is trust

So darling, I'm leaving for drinking
And I won't be back until late
And if this drinking is trying your patience
Darling, I'll make it worth all your wait

Darling, I'm leaving for drinking
And if my leave's feeling too long
Then remember this song that I'm singing
And it'll pass as you're singing along

Darling, I'm leaving for drinking
And don't you take it that hard
I'll be out late but don't get to thinking
That I'll be trouble 'round roaming the dark (til faaaade)
