[Verse 1]
I used to be a boozehound
Spent my time downtown gettin' round
Sittin' in the barroom
Tryin to get another drink
"I think you've had enough"
"Come on, just one more"
This time I ain't feelin' so fine
Whatcha say we get to downin'?
Don't throw me, just forget about the line
I wish I could be drownin'
Sweet water, I ain't seen her in a while
I don't know if I can face her
I know she can always make me smile
If I can't outrun my chaser
(Boozehound, boozehound)

[Verse 2]
I used to be a boozehound (Boozehound)
Buzzin' round midtown gettin' loaded (Boozehound)
Tryin' to get a number (Boozehound)
Feelin' mighty good
"Is this guy botherin' you?"
"No, no, I was just..."
"Get away!"
Come and get me, you can be my boogeyman
You can catch me on the rebound
You may not fly like the candyman can
But it's safer on the ground
Just one more trip to the fun house
They'll smother me with foam
See, my brother, that's the one house
That I can call my home
(Boozehound, boozehound)
(Boozehound, boozehound)
[Guitar Solo]
(Boozehound, boozehound)
(Boozehound, boozehound)

[Verse 3]
I used to be a boozehound (Boozehound)
Stumblin' uptown, gettin' higher (Boozehound)
Fallin' off the barstool (Boozehound)
"Get this guy outta here"
Rememberin' where I left the floor (Boozehound)
"I'm okay, I'm, I'm, I'm okay"
All my life there ain't never been a drought
That's probably been my downfall
Even though, you know, I might be passed out
I won't drop the highball
I know where the river flows
And the lives that it devours
Ain't it great I can touch my nose
But I can't smell the flowers, yeah
