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 evrybody honey and wind

up singing the blues
I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck and brother
I can name you a few

But I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it cause I know just
what I'm gonna do


I gotta get drunk I just can't stay sober there's a
lot of good people in town
Who'd like to 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 that I'd better
start slowin' it down

But there's more old drunkers than there are old doctors
So I guess we'd better have another round
Well now I gotta get drunk...

[ steel ]
Well I gotta get drunk...
