Sobriety

I got a steady job, and I'm living a lie

I'm a drunken slob, I got a DUI

(Sobriety)

(Sobriety)

When I was seventeen, I had my first drink

Now I'm forty-three, and I'm seeing a shrink

(Sobriety)

Mom, I'm living at the Chandler Lodge

Somebody wants to sell me the Dodge

It's another gift of sobriety

It took a fifth of vodka just to put me to sleep

Now you take away the liquor, and you're left with a creep

(Sobriety)

(Sobriety)

You got a lotta nerve to tell me things are okay

If you wanna keep it, gotta give it away

(Sobriety)

Mom, I'm living at the Chandler Lodge

Somebody wants to sell me the Dodge

It's another gift of sobriety

Everybody knows

The emperor's got new clothes

I'm gonna make the story sad

But it's the best friend I ever had

I know it's gonna kick my ass

So go ahead and pour another glass

(Sobriety)

Mom, they threw me outta Chandler Lodge

So now I'm sleeping in my Dodge

It's another gift of sobriety

Mom, they threw me outta Chandler Lodge

So now I'm sleeping in my Dodge

It's another gift of sobriety
