We were always drunken roustabouts

Had our ups, downs, and near throwdowns

You were the center of attention

That mayor of party town

But that ended forever more

When your Les Paul crashed the Troubadour floor

Tobe's got a drinking problem


You started a wayward teen

Joined every late night drinking team

The life of every party, first to show the last to go

How that reputation grew, until everybody knew

Tobe's got a drinking problem

Tobe's got a drinking problem


As the years they move along

And all your chaos carries on

Remember down in Florida we had to bail you out

Maybe now's the time to choose

Between serenity or booze

Tobe's got a drinking problem

Tobe's got a drinking problem


"Hey, give the guy a break, he wasn't that bad.

It isn't make or break, so give him his bottle back."


Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey


Tobe's got a drinking problem

Tobe's got a drinking problem


I swear by almighty God

That I'm never drinking again

I'm gonna get back my girlfriend

I'm gonna get back my job

I'm never drinking again


Tobe's got a drinking problem

Tobe's got a drinking problem

Tobe's got a drinking problem


Tobe's got a drinking problem

Tobe's got a drinking problem

Tobe's got a drinking problem
