Today was a drag, my mind is in rags

I know just what I'm gonna do

I'm headed downtown to a barroom I found

Where there's music, dim lights

and cheap booze

Gonna pour 'em down fast

Drink glass after glass

'Til I finally fall off of my stool

Then I'm gonna hoot, kick up my boots

Like a rubber-leg stumbling fool



A night on the town is the best thing I've found

For curin' what's hurtin' inside

Everyone knows that if you're feelin' low

The best thing to do is get high

Booze on the brain is like novocaine

For the pain in your heart and your mind

A night on the town is the best thing I've found

For curin' what's hurtin' inside



By that time I realize, I'm too drunk to drive

And drinking and driving don't mix

Besides this old car won't get very far

Now that it's stuck in this ditch

So I'll stumble on home, somehow on my own

And wake all the dogs on the way

And if someone I see asks whats wrong with me

Here's just what I'm gonna say



A night on the town is the best thing I've found

For curin' what's hurtin' inside

Everyone knows that if you're feelin' low

The best thing to do is get high

Booze on the brain is like novocaine

For the pain in your heart and your mind

A night on the town is the best thing I've found

For curin' what's hurtin' inside



I get to the lock, search in my pocket

And discover I can't find my keys

Won't know what to do, throw up on my shoe

And fall to the floor on my knees

I'll promise the lord I won't drink anymore

If he'll just help get me inside

And when I finally wake up

With my head full of lumps

I'll beg him to please let me die



A night on the town is the best thing I've found

For curin' what's hurtin' inside

Everyone knows that if you're feelin' low

The best thing to do is get high

Booze on the brain is like novocaine

For the pain in your heart and your mind

A night on the town is the best thing I've found

For curin' what's hurtin' inside
