Drinking Song

Build it up and break it down again

Got my shit together, I want to fuck it up

Paid my taxes, called my family

They don't know that I've been fixing to fuck it up

Drink cheap beer and smoke Marlboros

Get so drunk I'm still drunk tomorrow

Crash my car on Interstate 75

Lose all sense of control, abuse my substance of choice

Till I end up somewhere that I don't know

And my pockets are empty, it's probably better if I don't

But I want it bad

I know it makes my mom sad when I don't call for days

And I'm fucked up

When I finally do, it's to ask for some cash

And I need, need to find a better way to live

’Cause the way I'm living ain't gon' last that long

I'll be dead and gone by 43

If I keep on living life only for me

Life only for me

Life only for me

Life only for me

One day

When my liver is decayed, and I'm dying of old age

And I replay

All the memories I have of me cussing out my dad

And I regret

All the things I used to say and the ways I used to act

To the ones that

Really cared about me most, oh, I should have held them closer

Build it up and break it down again

Got my shit together, I want to fuck it up

Paid my taxes, called my family

They don't know that I've been fixing to fuck it up

Drink cheap beers and smoke Marlboros

Get so drunk I'm still drunk tomorrow

Crash my car on Interstate 75
