Bobby Bare - I Drink 

Mary Gauthier is a brilliant songwriter. love that she plays the bartender in the video!!

What a treasure! And this is why... He is BOBBY BARE! Detroit City... 500 Miles.. Four Strong Winds.... Etc. Thank You Mr. Bobby!

Dear God! Every time I watch this, it tears my soul out, yet I can’t leave it alone. THIS is Hank Williams, Sr. country

Damn, I love this song!!!!! I've always loved Bobby Bare and his music, but this song takes him to another level!!!!!!!!!!

Gorgeus south USA accent. I like that. Good wishes from Finland. Roger Tiippana ,born free 1961.

Bare does Ms. Gauthier's song proud. Real proud.

so faithful to Mary's composition..but unique at the same time. Wonderful job...!!

I got sober Aug 10th, 1973 but by then my family was gone, the house was gone. All my friends were gone. My daughter turns 50 in Feb I am going out to dinner with her. But it's taken almost the whole 45 years to earn her trust back. My son will be 48 this year and hardly ever comes around

I'm a 34 old career working alcoholic and approve of this!! Thank you Bare!!

Anybody who would treat their family such as that shouldnt have one.!! Great song ! my Friend!😎✍️

I came to Bobby Bare through this song. I’m a Mary Gauthier Fan, and was bowled over by the power of this version. Shortly after I was listening to “How I got to Memphis”, tears flowing down my face. They say that Everybody can sing, but not everybody has got the pipes… Beyond that, only the greatest singers can tell you a story like it is something that is happening to them, right now… Mr. Bare, if the Road calls you, we hope to see you here in Ireland, when it’s safe. I has been a joy getting to know your music over the last few years.

Bobby never disappoints a living legend

Great songwriting by Mary Gauthier … great performance by Mr Bare

This is a powerful and brilliant song and video. I'm a little slow on the uptake, and just figured out that Bobby is playing the part of the "devil", and noticed song writer, Mary Gauthier's, cameo.

have always loved this song, great video, great job, shout out to Mary Gauthier

Mr Bob Bare never disappoint !

Yooooo! This could be the most real song ever. Cut through me like a knife. Heard Blake's version but this cut through my soul.

Bobby is a real story teller. Thanks from Denmark

Good to hear a real country song in 2018. I don't feel the depth of soul and accurate portrayals of life in what's been coming out of country music in recent years.

So awesome I love beer .❤

God bless bobby and his music and his family .may they live long ! Sadly we just lost the story teller tom t hall another legend

How many of us have worn them boots out>>> Thanks BB!

Daniel is the most popular video player who has already played his life is still available for free

You Sir! Have Literally saved my life. Good God, you will never be forgot!

America had a few great Bobby"s. Bobby FISCHER, Bobbi Gentry, and of course, Bobby BARE!

Hard song to listen to. Brings back to many memories of the shit I caused others. Hrrr.

What an emotional video. it shows us how alcohol affects the whole family and how it is passed on. Bobby plays the devil-like character very well.

Real country music.

Heart wrentcher. Reality of some people's lives. I like it, makes me want to listen to more.

Damn good song

It numbs the pain

That’s a winner

You're getting older Bobby. I love ya' man for every song you did and a whole lot more. Cheers!

So at 2:46 Mary Gauthier is the bartender, I think? Interesting to include the songwriter in the video cover.

I love Bobby Bare music

Mary's song, well done.

I drink.. So what❤ i drink less now but still. Now that i know im LEAVING this world i still love the good feeling.. Especially b4 treatment

great great version.

Wow, thanks Bare!! God Bless All!!

Sir you are a national treasure,masterpiece thanks.

WOW. AT 14 YRS. SOBER THIS ONE REALLY GOT ME.

Had a lot written. Did that a couple times... Best I got: Damn fine song.

Wow what a powerful message

I'm battling alcoholism I'm waiting for another appointment with the alcohol counselor.

Better than any version.

My Dad quit drinking in his 30's and became a workaholic. So did I. He worked himself to an early death and I worked myself sick at 56.

First time listener, Ive been drinking for 12 years. I'm 28 now. I pray to stop. I'm drinking right now. I suck.....

Great song truth

Should it be mentioned that Mary Gauthier wrote that song?

Why is it never mentioned that Mary Gauthier wrote this song? The title makes it sound like this song was written by Bobby Bare. But Mary Gauthier wrote this song.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mr B !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Classic 💖

Story of my life!

Very nice old ford pickup wow I love them old ford.s

Johnny paycheck great singer and Bobby bare

Damn.

Iv been sober 25yrs. 6 months 4wks 1day

Is it a coincidence that a Coors Light commercial came on before the video?🙄

Ain'i it the truth. This 63 year old man cain't live without my rum

Just rember, If the wemon don't get you, the whiskey must (old New Orleans saying)

Can you please post. Road of no return from Bobby

this is dark

Very deep song. Love the feel

If they had only made the music to these new songs more 70ies style.

A good song's a good song.

I really feel, the older I get, the more this song becomes reality, because I’m really not giving a fuck lately.

Dang, that is a dark version of a great song... Glad they had the suicide hotline at the end. Alcohol is a helluva drug, to paraphrase tRick James' comment on cocaine. Thanks, Mary.

Sad, but true.

I saw my life growing up...

My dad knew Bobby Bare my grandmother was the waitress at the bar he played...

Can anyone tell me if when he was backing out to leave in his truck, did he hit his daughter and kill her? That part confused me.

Chilling😥

Awesome

So it goes..

I wonder what this family looks like during Covid!

Been there, did that and thankfully I quit!! Best thing that I ever did. What a waste fo time and money. I now regret that I ever had a drink.

He'd get home about 5:30 Fix a drink and sit down in his chair Pick a fight with mama Complain about us kids gettin' in his hair At night he'd sit alone and smoke I'd see his frown behind the lighter's flame That same frown's in my mirror I got my daddy's blood inside my veins Fish swim, birds fly Daddies yell, mamas cry Old men sit and think I drink You got your chicken TV dinner Six minutes on defrost, three on high A beer to wash it down with Then another little whiskey on the side It's not so bad alone here It don't bother me that every night's the same I don't need another lover Hangin' around, tryin' to make me change Fish swim, birds fly Lovers leave, by and by Old men sit and think I drink I know what I am But I don't I don't give a damn Fish swim, birds fly Daddies yell, mamas cry Old men sit and think I drink From : genius.com/Bobby-bare-i-drink-lyrics

God help me Bobby……

кантри меня прет даже без наркотиков

Fish swim birds fly, …

I Drink.

This is what you call art, Drunk Art. Did the guy shoot himself or did he clean up? Or did he just pass out and start all over??

This is my favorite thing to do at the moment and if I ever do anything wrong I just hope that I don't understand why I am so upset with my life and I just wanted to say what I like to see her face but she doesn't want me to be honest about it because I love u and can't even get a good life man who is the worst enemy of all time you can also be a little more aggressive than you ever thought you should always be a man of the world and the girls are very sorry to tell you that they are not even married to the point where he will be in a good place to live for his son as well as you know he is going back home with her for dinner with us and we just got back home with his own life has already told you about this so I can find you and if you want me for a life that is just say you need to be with me when she gets married to you because she loves you so much more than I did last night after she leaves for work with me why's you want me for the rest of my life is going back home with you want me to do it for you because she loves you so beautiful baby girl that is just say you are a evil man who can help us with the fact that you have never had a dream that you could even get a reason behind it but she said you had a dream that you are going out with us for a few years now because he feels like a very nice man that has never been saying that I can't even imagine why you are so sweet to me about how you might want to come up to have a good man but I don't want you to feel bad about me I don't want you to have her and she has always loved you want me for a long story short but she will never be happy with the fact that you want me for a long time to talk to me like you said before you left for me to get married to me if I am not going back to my music and then you said that she has always loved you want me for a life that you can also do it with me being alone and being alone is always a chance that she may not have

I got my daddy's blood inside my veins hits me every time

Not to bad

I just watched my daddy die with cirrhosis. His funerals tomorrow. He was an army vet in the 101st airborne.

i have no comment.....

Just like a man

Respectfully, I think i will commit suicīdë to this song in a few years. I sadly have bad thoughts about the fact its eternal darkness after death, and this song makes it hard for me as an alcoholic to morally deal with it. Eternity of darkness sounds better than feeling down every day. Im in so much pain....

This song is brilliant. This video is just so, so terrible.
