I Gotta Get Drunk

Well I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it

'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do

Gonna spend my money callin' everybody honey

And wind up singin' the blues

I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck

And brother I can name you a few

Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it

'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do

Well, I gotta get drunk, Lord, I can't stay sober

There's a lot of good people in town

They love to hear me holler, see me spend my dollar

I wouldn't dream of lettin 'em down

Well, there's a lot of good doctors keep a-tellin' me, George

You'd better start slowin' it down

But there's more old drunks than there are old doctors

So I guess we'd better have another round

Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it

'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do

I'll start to spend my money callin' everybody honey

And wind up singin' the blues

I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck

And baby, I can name you a few

Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it

'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do...
