Lyrics

Drunk

[Verse 1]

Got a five in my pocket

Wanna buy me some gin

Or drop gas in the tank

Let me think it over again

'Cause I'd rather be drunk

And drive away from here

Than to be sober

So sober, yeah

No friends coming through

I think I've lost them all

No man to take their place

So I decided to make this call

That I'd rather be drunk

On a cloud away from here

I don't wanna be sober

No, not sober, yeah

[Bridge]

Broke and alone

Nowhere to go

And loneliness is hurting me so

Broke and alone

Nowhere to go

And loneliness is hurting me so

[Verse 2]

One stog' left to light

I think I'll smoke just a half

By the time I finish this drink

I'll roll the last of the grass, yeah, hey

'Cause I'd rather be pumped

Than to drown in my tears

And that'll help me keel over

And sleep the night over, yeah

Yeah, yeah

[Bridge]

Oh, I could've swore

Sober

And loneliness is killing me slow

Broke and alone

Ooh, boy, whatever

[Verse 3]

Did I drink too much

'Cause the road is all lopsided

I only drove a small way

I thought I swore not to take this ride

Now my air's being pumped

And I'm drenched in my tears

I don't wanna keel over

Just wanna be sober, yeah

[Outro]

Ooh

Why I had to go

Killing me slow, slow

I wish I could have listened to my conscience

And not drunk a drip

I wouldn't be here in so many pieces

I shouldn't have drank a sip
