Drinkin' My Way Back Home
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 sobered up in Houston in the bed of my pickup truck
My head was hangin' so heavy I could hardly hold it up
I got to thinkin' 'bout sweet little woman I left all alone
And that's when I started rollin', drinkin' my way back home.
Chorus:
Drinkin' my way back home
Listenin' to a honky tonk song
I hope the devil in my soul don't steer me wrong
'Cause I'm drinkin' my way back home.
--- Instrumental ---
I can feel that Texas sundown on this redneck of mine
Everytime I pop a top, I'm getting' closer to the Arkansas line
I left a trail of Lone Star beers from here to San Antone
So baby here I come, don't worry, drinkin' my way back home.
Chorus:
Drinkin' my way back home
Listenin' to a honky tonk song
I hope the devil in my soul don't steer me wrong
'Cause I'm drinkin' my way back home.
Chorus:
Drinkin' my way back home
Listenin' to a honky tonk song
I hope the devil in my soul don't steer me wrong
'Cause I'm drinkin' my way back home...
