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 call evrybody honey
And wind up singing the blues
I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck
And Willie 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 lotta good people in town
Who'd like to hear me holler see me spend my dollars
I wouldn't think of lettin' 'em down
Well there's a lot of doctors that tell 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
[ harmonica - guitar - fiddle - piano ]
Well I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it...
