One Thing At A Time lyrics by Morgan Wallen

Somebody hand me a cigarette

I know I ain't had one in over a week

Somebody pour me a double shot

Been getting better by the day but tonight I drink

You say I gotta get over you

And get sober too

I got a lot of habits I gotta kick

But weigh out all your options

And take your pick

I can either burn the bar down

Or I can take your number out my phone

I can give you up right now

Never want you back long as I'm half stoned

If you want me to quit you

Want me to get you out of my heart and baby off my mind

I hate to tell ya girl

But I'm only quitting one thing at a time

I know I got me some problems

About a thousand memories I gotta forget

But if I'm gonna solve 'em

Baby I'll take all the help I can get

If you ain't gonna kiss me

Then I'll take some whiskey

Some grizzly

Nicotine amphetamines too

You want me to stop some of that

Or you want me to stop loving you

Hey whatchu want me to do

I can either burn the bar down

Or I can take your number out my phone

I can give you up right now

Never want you back long as I'm half stoned

If you want me to quit you

Want me to get you out of my heart and baby off my mind

I hate to tell ya girl

But I'm only quitting one thing at a time

Aw yeah I hate to tell you

Aw yeah I hate to tell you

I ain't no superman

I'm just the way I am

If I'm gonna move on

Then I need me something in my hand

Ain't nothing wrong with that

If you ain't coming back

I can either burn the bar down

Or I can take your number out my phone

I can give you up right now

Never want you back long as I'm half stoned

If you want me to quit you

Want me to get you out of my heart and baby off my mind

I hate to tell ya girl

But I'm only quitting one thing at a time

Aw yeah I hate to tell you

Aw yeah I hate to tell you

Aw yeah I hate to tell you
