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

I used to be a boozehound

Buzzin round midtown

Gettin loaded

Tryin to get a number

Feelin mighty good

"Is this guy bothering you?"

"No, no, I was just..."

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 high ball

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

I used to be a boozehound

Stumblin uptown

Gettin higher

Fallin off the barstool

Rememberin where I left the floor

"Say buddy, you need some help"

"No, I'm cool..."

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
