Well here I sit in this honky tonk feeling mighty low
Hating to see that old clock on the wall saying its time to go
So bring another drink bartender, troubles boy I got em
And if I'm gonna sink, I might as well go to the bottom

Cause I got the meanest old woman you ever did seen
And she don't go me staying out all night
And when I come home in the morning banging on the screen
You can bet your bottom dollar, there's gonna be a whale of a fight

I guess she might be pretty good, sometimes sweet and kind
But she can't see past her nose when it comes to this jug of mine
But when I get the heebie jeebies, this jug is the only way to stop them
So if I'm gonna sink, I might as well go to the bottom

Yeah if I'm gonna sink, I might as well go to the bottom
