Cheaper Than A Shrink

I was sittin' in a chair at the H&R Block

Some bean countin', pencil pusher runnin' up the clock

Said, "I've tallied up your numbers for the end of the year

And son, you've spent a small fortune on liquor and beer."

I said, it's cheaper than a shrink

You don't have to think

You just pour and drink

It's sixteen-fifty for a bottle of Jack

No pouring out your heart to some high-dollar quack

Just a flip of the wrist and you're gettin' it done

And gettin' just as messed up and havin' a lot more fun

And it's cheaper than a shrink

You don't have to think

You just pour and drink

Aw, it's cheaper than a shrink

Now me and her had this little problem between us

Tryin' to bridge the gap between Mars and Venus

She said, "Honey, I think we need to see a marital counselor."

I said, "All we need to do is slam a case of twelve-ouncers."

'Cause it's cheaper than a shrink

You don't have to think

You just pour and drink

About eighteen bucks'll get you four six-packs

No pouring out your heart to some high dollar quack

Just a flip of the wrist and you're gettin' it done

And gettin' just as messed up and havin' a lot more fun

And it's cheaper than a shrink

You don't have to think

You just pour and drink

Yeah, it's cheaper than a shrink

If liquor prices soared as high as gasoline

Then I'd a quit drinkin' back when I was nineteen

It's the oldest most proven form of therapy

The best thing about it far as I can see is that it's

Cheaper than a shrink

You don't have to think

You just pour and drink

And it's cheaper than a shrink

Aw, you just pour and drink

And it's a whole lot cheaper

Than some big town, clock hound, drag you down shrink
