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 everybody 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
