Yes, it's me and I'm drinking again
|
Tell everybody I'm drinking again
|
Doctor said it'd kill me
|
But he didn't say when
|
Have mercy, I'm drinking again
|
|
Yes, it's me and I'm drinking again
|
I'd like to dry out but I doubt if I can
|
My baby said she'd quit me but she didn't say when
|
'Cause I'm drinking again
|
|
Working two jobs, tryin' to get straight
|
Don't need the money, just want to lose weight
|
Gonna get you all the things that you lack
|
Diamond ring and a red Cadillac
|
Came home drunk and pushed you around
|
Don't you quit me baby, don't you put me down
|
|
I'll never do it again
|
I'll never do it again
|
I'll never do it again
|
I promise this time
|
|
I came home last night about half past four
|
Whole neighborhood was rocking out on my floor
|
And my baby was working up under the sheet
|
With a teenage boy that lives down the street
|
I grabbed a bottle, he grabbed a gun
|
I heard somebody holler: "Shoot him 'fore he runs"
|
And that's the reason why I'm drinking again
|
Tell everybody I'm drinking again
|
You can't lick 'em and you just can't win
|
Yes, it's me and I'm drinking again
|
|
Ain't it enough to start you drinking again
|
We got to live in a world full of sin
|
Thank you Jesus for what you have done
|
I'm sick and tired tryin' to be number one
|
Change my suit, change my shirt
|
Change what I dig and get out of the dirt
|
|
I'll never do it again
|
I'll never do it again
|
I'm going to get back in my gin
|
I'm drinking again
|
