The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
i got a steady job but i'm living a lie
i'm a drunken slob i've got a d.u.i
sobriety, sobriety
when i was 17 i had my first drink
now i'm 43 and i'm seeing a shrink
sobriety, 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 your left with a creep
sobriety, sobriety
you've got a lot of nerve to tell me things are ok
if you want to keep it gotta give it away
sobriety, 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
sobriety
mom they threw me out the chandler lodge
so now i'm sleeping in my dodge
it's another gift of sobriety
mom they threw me out the chandler lodge
so now i'm sleeping in my dodge
it's another gift of sobriety
