I Gotta Get Drunk

Well I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it

'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do

Start to spend my money, calling everybody 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

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 lot of good people in town

He'd love to hear me holler, see me spend my dollars

I wouldn't think of lettin' 'em down

Well, there's a lot of good doctors keep on tellin' me

"George, you'd better start slowin' it down"

But there're more old drunks than there are old doctors

So I guess we'd better have another round

Well now I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it

'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do

Start to spend my money, calling 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

Yeah, yeah
