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 
Callin' everybody honey 
And wind up singin' the blues 
I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck 
And brother I can name you a few 

Well I gotta get drunk I just can't stay sober 
There's a lot of good people in town who wanna hear me holler 
See me spend my dollars
and I wouldn't think of lettin' `em down 

There's a lot of doctors that tell me 
I better start slowin' it down 
But there's more old drunks than there are old doctors 
So I think that I'll have another round!
