[Verse 1]
Got a five in my pocket
Wanna buy me some gin
Or drop gas in the tank
Let me think it over again
'Cause I'd rather be drunk
And drive away from here
Than to be sober
So sober, yeah
No friends coming through
I think I've lost them all
No man to take their place
So I decided to make this call
That I'd rather be drunk
On a cloud away from here
I don't wanna be sober
No, not sober, yeah

[Bridge]
Broke and alone
Nowhere to go
And loneliness is hurting me so
Broke and alone
Nowhere to go
And loneliness is hurting me so
[Verse 2]
One stog' left to light
I think I'll smoke just a half
By the time I finish this drink
I'll roll the last of the grass, yeah, hey
'Cause I'd rather be pumped
Than to drown in my tears
And that'll help me keel over
And sleep the night over, yeah
Yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
Oh, I could've swore
Sober
And loneliness is killing me slow
Broke and alone
Ooh, boy, whatever

[Verse 3]
Did I drink too much
'Cause the road is all lopsided
I only drove a small way
I thought I swore not to take this ride
Now my air's being pumped
And I'm drenched in my tears
I don't wanna keel over
Just wanna be sober, yeah
[Outro]
Ooh
Why I had to go
Killing me slow, slow

I wish I could have listened to my conscience
And not drunk a drip
I wouldn't be here in so many pieces
I shouldn't have drank a sip
