Baby since you said goodbye I've been going crazy
Been going downtown to find someone to replace you
And in case you've been wondering I've been a wreck
And girl I confess

I've been sleepin' around
This old house
Down on the floor
Out on the couch with the TV on
All night long
Waking up checking my phone
I've been sleeping around two hours at night
Out in my truck too drunk to drive
Anywhere but that bed where I laid you down
Yeah I've been sleeping around
Since you ain't around

All my friends know some girl 
Who they wanna hook me up with
But I can't kiss no one but you
Girl you know I try to
But I ain't going to lie to you

I've been sleepin' around
This old house
Down on the floor
Out on the couch with the TV on
All night long
Waking up checking my phone
I've been sleeping around two hours at night
Out in my truck too drunk to drive
Anywhere but that bed where I laid you down

I've been sleeping around
When I ought to be running around 
With every pretty thing in town
But every time the sun goes down 
All I do is miss on you

I've been sleeping around
All over town
Call another buddy crash on his couch
Just to go somewhere hoping you ain't there
But you're still there

I've been sleeping around two hours at night
Out in my truck too drunk to drive
Anywhere but that bed where I laid you down
Yeah I've been sleeping around
Girl I've been sleeping around
Since you ain't around I've been sleeping around
Sleeping around
