[Verse 1]
Well if I could I would
Stay drunk all the time
But then again I'd never, I'd never get to know
This sober heart of mine

[Verse 2]
All of my friends would be shadows
Leave me alone at closing time
My tab would be real high, and I would feel real low
When they turn on all the lights

[Verse 3]
If drunken words were sober thoughts
Well I'd tell you what's on my mind
Purge the pride and the pain
That I drown in when I'm dry

[Verse 4]
Speakin' cursive with a slur
Speakin' curses is a crime
To a sober man with a badge in his hand
Reading me my rights
Oh now just because I can
That don't mean I should
Forever lasts forever, if I never get to know
This sober heart of mine
[Verse 5]
Oh but if I could I would
Stay drunk all the time
I guess I'll never ever get to know
This sober heart of mine

[Outro]
I guess I'll never ever get to know
This sober heart of mine
