Well, I got to get drunk and I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'll do
I'm gonna spend my money, call everybody honey
And wind up singin' the blues
I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck
And brother, I can name you a few
Well, I got to get drunk and I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do

Well I got to get drunk, I can't stay sober
There's lots of good people in town
They wanna see me holler, see me spend my dollar
And I wouldn't think of lettin' 'em down
There's a lot of doctors who tell me
I'd better start slowing it down
But there's more old drunks than there are old doctors
So I guess we'd better have another round

Well I got to get drunk, I can't stay sober
There's lots of good people in town
They wanna see me holler, see me spend my dollar
And watch me hovering around
There's a lot of doctors who tell me
I'd better start slowing it down
I said, there's more old drunks than there are old doctors
So I guess I'd better have myself another round
