I woke up late, put on my clothes

Took the wedding car to the liquor store.

I turned the G&F around

But it got stuck in my head, stuck in my head.



Jack's Lounge was a-callin' my name,

I had a beer or two or ten or nine. 

I can't rightly recall at all 

The score of the game.



I had a powerful thirst

It was hard even to see

Let alone chuckle at the honeymooners on TV.

You were nowhere around

So I broke down 'cause I thought you left me, baby.



But all this time you were drinking gin

In the private suites of the Comfort Inn.

When I finally recalled this valuable fact:

You really tried to leave me for real.

But I promise you, girl,

If it happens again,

I'll bring you back more gin.
