Standin' by the store at a quarter to eight
Just before opening time
I look at my reflection gotta lose some weight
First I need a bottle of wine

Look at me now I got a smile on my face
And a brown paperbag in my hand
This is the way that I spend my days
The bottle is my best friend

I light a cigar as I walk to the bar
My head is killing me
I take a breath and count to three

One for the road boy One for the road
I'm robbin' the liquor store
One for the road boy One for the road
I'm robbin' the liquor store

Jacky Jimmy Johnny I tasted 'em all
They're real good friends of mine
When we are together we're having a ball
We have ourselves a real good time

I light a cigar as I walk to the bar
My head is killing me
I take a breath and count to three

One for the road boy One for the road
I'm robbin' the liquor store
One for the road boy One for the road
I'm robbin' the liquor store

I noticed that I'm shaking like a leaf on a tree
It's nothing that a drink can't solve
I'm thinking of the person that I wanted to be
I told him not to get involved

I light

I got the shakes boy I got the shakes
I'm robbin' the liquor store
