I used to come home late and not a minute too soon
Barking like a dog, howling at the moon
You'd be mad as an ol' red hen
Up all night wondering where I've been
I'd fall down and say come help me, honey
You laughed out loud, I guess you thought it was funny
I sobered up and I got to thinking
Girl, you ain't much fun since I quit drinking

Now I'm painting the house and I'm mending the fence
I guess I gone and lost all my good sense
Too much work is hard for your health
I could've died drinking, now I'm killing myself

And now I'm feeding the dog, sacking the trash
It's: honey do this, honey do that
I sobered up and I got to thinking
Girl, you ain't much fun since I quit drinking

Now I'm fixing the sink and I'm mowing the grass
You made me a list and I'm busting my wheel
All broke down, tailspin dragging
It's a rough ol' life up here on the wagon

And I'm feeding the dog, sacking the trash
It's: honey do this, honey do that
I sobered up and I got to thinking
Girl, you ain't much fun since I quit drinking
Yeah, I sobered up and I got to thinking
Girl, you ain't much fun since I quit drinking
