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
Calling everybody honey
And wind up singing the blues
I'll spend my whole paycheck
On some old wreck
And brother I can name you a few
But I gotta get drunk
And I sure do dread it
Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
I gotta get drunk
I can't stay sober
There's a lot of good people in town
Who's gotta hear me holler
See me spend my dollars
And I wouldn't think of letting them down
There's a lot of doctors that tell me
That I'd better stop putting it down
But there's more old drunkers
Than there are old doctors
So I guess I'd better have another round
I gotta get drunk
I can't stay sober
There's a lot of good people in town
Who's gotta hear me holler
See me spend my dollars
And I wouldn't think of letting them down
There's a lot of doctors that tell me
That I'd better stop putting it down
But there's more old drunkers
Than there are good doctors
So Jim take another round
I gotta get drunk
And I sure do dread it
Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
Start to spend my money
Calling everybody honey
And wind up singing the blues
Spend my whole paycheck
On some old wreck
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
