I Gotta Get Drunk

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

Well, 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'd like to 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

That I'd better start to slowin' it down

But there are more old drunks than there are old doctors

So I guess we'd better have another round

Well, now 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

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, 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

Well, I gotta get drunk, and I sure do dread it

'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
