The Eagles Are The Reason That I Drink
[Verse 1]
Some people drink 'cause they lost a girlfriend
Some people drink 'cause they lost a bet
But my tab's open 'cause I can't stop thinking of the reason why I'm upset
They rob me of my money
They shoot down all my dreams
I'm stumbling over in a drunken fit for Philadelphia's favorite team
[Chorus]
Yeah, I drink because the Eagles make my life a hell
Every week I put on the game and then I wanna kill myself
Another year of desperation
Another season without a ring
Yeah, the Eagles are the reason that I drink
[Verse 2]
They constantly make me nervous
They find a way to make me sweat
Another week, another disappointing four quarters and a heart attack
They tell us that they're improving
Well, take the time to grow and learn
But how much longer can they make excuses while the city has to watch them burn?
[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm drunk because the Eagles make my life a hell
Every week I put on the game and then I wanna kill myself
Another year of desperation
Another season without a ring
Yeah, the Eagles are the reason that I drink
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I know I shouldn't let a game control me
I know it shouldn't make me feel provoked
But how am I supposed to rest when other cities see us as a joke?
I'm tired of all the upsets
I'm tired of emptying my fridge
Singin' "E-A-G-L-E-S, Eagles" as I'm drivin' off the Franklin Bridge
[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm drunk because the Eagles make my life a hell
Every week I put on the game and then I wanna kill myself
Another year of desperation
Another season without a ring
Yeah, the Eagles are the reason that I drink
[Chorus]
Yeah, I drink because the Eagles put my life through hell
Every week I put on the game and then I wanna kill myself
Another year of desperation
Another season without a ring
Yeah, the Eagles are the reason
Yeah, the Eagles are the reason
Yeah, the Eagles are the reason
That I drink
