Well I'm drinkin' once again
Just to make the pills kick in
I'm drinkin', once again there ain't no doubt
You better look out, drinkin' once again
I want to scream and shout
Want to let the bad guys win
Let 'em out
I used to be as sober as a hangin' judge
Now the law has went and left me flat
You better go around, baby, now I won't budge
Thinkin' I'm back
Knockin' 'em back
Knock knockin' 'em back
I'm drinkin', once again
Just to make them pills kick in
And just to see the bad guys win
I used to be as sober as a hangin' judge
Now the law has went and left me flat
Better go around, baby, now I won't budge
I'm back
Knock knockin' 'em back
Knock knockin' 'em back
Here's a dollar, gotta get more money
Here's a bottle, now I'm funny
Drinkin' again
Just to make the pills kick in
Oh you ain't gettin' used to me, at your university
Just want to let the bad guys out
I used to be as sober as a hangin' judge
Now I see the law has left me flat
Out of my way, go around, baby, I won't budge
Knockin' 'em back
Knock knockin' 'em back
Knock knockin' 'em back
Well I know it's almost over, and that ain't no lie
Spirits that I'm drinkin' once again
Last night I got up and I got dressed to cry
Drinkin' again
Drink drinkin' again, drink drinkin' again
Drink drinkin' again, drink drinkin' again, drink drinkin' again
This here to you, baby
