Well I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it Cuz I know just what I'm gonna do I'll start to spend my money callin' everybody honey And I'll wind up singin' 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 Cuz I know just what I'm gonna do I gotta get drunk, I just can't stay sober There's a lot of good people in town Who like to see me holler, see me spend my dollar And I wouldn't dream of lettin' 'em down There's a lot of doctors tell me That I'd better start slowing it down But there's more old drunks than there are old doctors So I guess we'd better have another round
