Sober Heart of Mine

Well if I could I would
Stay drunk all the time
But then again I'd never, I'd never get to know
This sober heart of mine
All of my friends would be shadows
Leave me alone at closing time
My tab would be real high, and I would feel real low
When they turn on all the lights
If drunken words were sober thoughts
Well I'd tell you what's on my mind
Purge the pride and the pain
That I drown in when I'm dry
Speakin' cursive with a slur
Speakin' curses is a crime
To a sober man with a badge in his hand
Reading me my rights
Oh now just because I can
That don't mean I should
Forever lasts forever, if I never get to know
This sober heart of mine
Oh but if I could I would
Stay drunk all the time
I guess I'll never ever get to know
This sober heart of mine
I guess I'll never ever get to know
This sober heart of mine
