Well I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
I start to my money calling everybody honey
And wind up singing the blues
I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck
And brother I can name you a few
Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
Yeah, I gotta get drunk, I can't stay sober
There's a lot of good people in town
They like to hear me holler, see me spend my dollars
And I wouldn't think of letting 'em down
There's a lot of good doctors that tell me
I better start slowing it down
But there's more old drunks than there are old doctors
So I guess I'd better have another round
