Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got a drinkin' problem, man
One mouth and two hands
And a empty can
I ain't got no loot, yeah, loot, yeah
[Verse 2]
I'm feelin' that funny feelin' again within
Walkin' me to the kitchen for that early morning gin
Drinkin' in till my thoughts, they become clear
Dress my naked ear and head the fuck up outta here
Fightin' traffic, the hot sun be causin' havoc
Ass stuck to the seat, window cracked, can't see past it
The liquor store, I just passed it, lookin' back
I gotta turn around, I can't stop thinkin' exactly that
U-turn, the past I leave behind
For the ill bumpin' too, bustin' six-by-nines
And I feel this day do be a good one of plenty
Even if I'm thirsty and my pockets are empty
[Verse 3]
I got a drinkin' problem, man
One mouth and two hands
And a empty can
And I got no loot, yeah, loot, yeah
[Verse 4]
And y'all don't understand
I'm just a simple man
Doing the best I can
Without no loot, yeah, loot, yeah
[Verse 5]
Come from a long line of alcoholics
Livin' from toilet to toilet, you call it
I'm callin' hotlines, swervin' all over yellow lines
Drinkin' moonshine, damn, was that a stop sign?
I ain't doing good, but I'll be fine
Man, who has that cheap wine?
Drunk since nine, guzzling Boone's Farm
Tryna stop my shakin' arm, I'm here to stumble the earth
And forewarn, seven weeks since I had a shower
I blackout like you pulled the plug on Georgia Power
Southern Discomfort, baby, seein' pink elephants on down the freeway
The proof on the bottle one-eighty, run outta loot, yeah
And I won't survive if you won't let me borrow another five
I'ma do it anyway if I'm alive
[Verse 6]
I got a drinkin' problem, man
One mouth and two hands
And a empty can
I ain't got no loot, yeah, loot, yeah
[Verse 7]
And y'all don't understand
I'm just a simple man
Doing the best I can
Without no loot, yeah, loot, yeah
[Verse 8]
I spent my last money on a Pabst Blue Ribbon
I be gulpin', never sippin' 'cause I have to
Booted out the crib, and that's cool long as I have brew
Face flush, stare at a lush, I might bust you in the gum
I got a problemo, my life's too up-tempo
But, yo, I'm just a simple man whose mind is crippled, man
It all started at a party and
I was only fifteen, now I can kill a fifth of Bacardi and
I drink and pass out, wake up assed out and start again
I been to AA, but, hey-hey, give me the bottle
Them twelve steppers actin' like they never took a swallow
[Verse 9]
I got a drinkin' problem, man
One mouth and two hands
And a empty can
I ain't got no loot, yeah, loot, yeah
[Verse 10]
And y'all don't understand
I'm just a simple man
Doing the best I can
Without no loot, yeah, loot, yeah
[Verse 11]
I got a drinkin' problem, man
One mouth and two hands
And a empty can
I got no loot, yeah, loot, yeah
[Verse 12]
I got a drinkin' problem, man
One mouth and two hands
And a empty can
I got no loot, yeah, loot, yeah
[Verse 13]
I'm doing the best I can
I'm a simple man
Empty can
No loot, yeah
