Well I gotta get drunk, I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
I start to spend my money, call everybody honey
And I wind up singing the blues

I spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck
And brother, I could name you a few
Well, I gotta get drunk, I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do

I gotta get drunk, I can't stay sober
'Cause there's a lotta good people in town
Who like to see me holler, and spend my dollar
And I wouldn't think of lettin' them down

There's a lot of doctors tell me
I better start slowin' it down
But there's more old drunks than there are old doctors
So I guess I better have another round

Yeah I gotta get drunk, I can't stay sober
There's a lotta good people in town
Who like to see me holler and spend my dollar
And I wouldn't think of lettin' them down

There's a lot of doctors tell me
I better start slowin' it down
But there's more old drunks than there are old doctors
So I guess I better have another round
I gotta get drunk, I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
I start to spend my money, call everybody honey
And I wind up singing the blues

I spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck
And brother, I could name you a few
Well I gotta get drunk, I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
Yeah I gotta get drunk, I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
