Things down at my house just ain't going right I'm gonna tie one on tonight
I'm sick and tired of coming on and that gal ain't in sight
I'm gonna tie one on tonight
I wonder what she does all day I wonder where she goes
When I get home she's always gone dressed in her best clothes
I'm going out and live it up chase every girl in sight I'm gonna tie one on tonight
[ piano ]
My baby she's out on the town and I think just for spite I'm gonna tie one on tonight
She thinks she's gonna worry me but I'll show her all right
I'm gonna tie one on tonight
I'm gonna dance with all the girls and have myself as free
Then I get home and find her there crying over me
When I come in at three a.m. there'll prob'ly be a fight
But I'm gonna tie one on tonight I'm gonna tie one on tonight
