Well I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it

cause I know just what I'm gonna do

I'll start to spend my money

call everybody honey and wind up singing the blues

I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck and brother I can name you a few

But I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it cause 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'd like to hear me holler see me spend my dollars

And I wouldn't think of lettin' 'em down

There's a lot of doctors that tell me that I'd better start slowin' it down

But there's more old drunkers than there are old doctors

So I guess we'd better have another round
