I got a steady job, and I'm living a lie
I'm a drunken slob, I got a DUI
(Sobriety)
(Sobriety)

When I was seventeen, I had my first drink
Now I'm forty-three, and I'm seeing a shrink
(Sobriety)

Mom, I'm living at the Chandler Lodge
Somebody wants to sell me the Dodge
It's another gift of sobriety

It took a fifth of vodka just to put me to sleep
Now you take away the liquor, and you're left with a creep
(Sobriety)
(Sobriety)

You got a lotta nerve to tell me things are okay
If you wanna keep it, gotta give it away
(Sobriety)
(Sobriety)

Mom, I'm living at the Chandler Lodge
Somebody wants to sell me the Dodge
It's another gift of sobriety
Everybody knows
The emperor's got new clothes
I'm gonna make the story sad
But it's the best friend I ever had
I know it's gonna kick my ass
So go ahead and pour another glass

Mom, they threw me outta Chandler Lodge
So now I'm sleeping in my Dodge
It's another gift of sobriety

Mom, they threw me outta Chandler Lodge
So now I'm sleeping in my Dodge
It's another gift of sobriety
