Carry Me Home

[Verse 1]

Well, the bartender's workin' on a late-night shift

Cheap bums and blondes and barmaids on a midnight drift

And the dance band's playing the same old sling

I'm sinkin' whiskey and you're sippin' fine wine

I don't know what it is you're tryin' to prove

Well, it should be you, but it's me who can hardly move, hehe

And I've got my reputation lyin' on the line

Come on, baby, be a good dog and— and help the blind

[Chorus]

Oh, won't you carry me home?

Won't you carry me home?

Won't you carry me home?

Like a truck, pick me up, oh

[Verse 2]

You ain't no lady, but you sure got taste in men

That head of yours has got you by time and time again

My arms and legs are achin' and my head's about to blow

And your back's been breakin' and I'd hate to spoil the show

But I just spent next week's wages and I'm right out of coin

But you want more, and it's half-past four, and they wanna close the joint

And we can't afford a taxi, and it's too late for the bus

But I've been told by friends of mine you're someone I can trust

[Chorus]

Carry me home

Oh, won't you carry me home? Oh, yeah

Carry me home

Don't leave me lyin' here, in all this beer, oh

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

You drank all your booze and half of mine

I'm bleary-eyed and you're waitin' for the sunshine to come and kill me

Just like the man who threw me on the floor

Don't matter, while I'm down here, I might as well try and find the fuckin' door

Excuse me, have you seen it? It's about this big

And have you got a plastic bag, 'cause I'm gonna be sick

I'm dead drunk and heavin', hangin' upside down

And you're gettin' up and leavin', you think I'm gonna drown

[Chorus]

Carry me home

Oh, won't you carry me home? I need your help

Carry me home

Oh-hohohohohohoho, ooh, ow

Carry me home

Oh, won't you carry me home?

Oh, carry me home

Oh, haha, ah-hahahahaha, ah-hahahaha
