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
Wind up singin’ the blues
Spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck
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 gotta hear me holler
See me spend my dollar
And I wouldn’t think of letting em down
There’s a lot of doctors that tell me
I’d better stop putting it down
But there’s more old drunks
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 gotta hear me holler
See me spend my dollars
And I wouldn’t think of letting em down
There’s a lot of doctors that tell me
I’d better stop putting it down
But there’s more old drunks
Than there are old doctors
So, Jim, take another round
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
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
