Well I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it

Cause I know just what I'm gonna do

I'll start to spend my money

Callin' everybody honey

And wind up singin' the blues

I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck

And brother I can name you a few

Well I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it

Cause I know just what I'm gonna do



Well I gotta get drunk I can't stay sober

There's a lot of good people in town who wanna hear me holler,

See me spend my dollars,

And I wouldn't think of lettin' 'em down



There's a lot of doctors that tell me

I should slow it all down

But there's more old drunks than there are old doctors

So I think that I'll have another round!
