i got a steady job but i'm living a lie

i'm a drunken slob i've got a d.u.i

sobriety, sobriety



when i was 17 i had my first drink

now i'm 43 and i'm seeing a shrink

sobriety, sobriety



mom i'm living at the chandler lodge

somebody wants to sell me the dodge

it's another gift of sobriety



it took a fifth of vodka just to put me to sleep

now you take away the liquor and your left with a creep

sobriety, sobriety



you've got a lot of nerve to tell me things are ok

if you want to keep it gotta give it away

sobriety, sobriety



mom i'm living at the chandler lodge

somebody wants to sell me the dodge

it's another gift of sobriety



everybody knows

the emperor's got new clothes

i'm gonna make the story sad

but it's the best friend i ever had

i know it's gonna kick my ass

so go ahead and pour another glass



sobriety

sobriety





mom they threw me out the chandler lodge

so now i'm sleeping in my dodge

it's another gift of sobriety



mom they threw me out the chandler lodge

so now i'm sleeping in my dodge

it's another gift of sobriety
