The Hold Steady - I Gotta Get Drunk lyrics

rate me

Well, I gotta get drunk

And I showed you how to

To know that I'm gotta chew

And spit out my money while

I'm calling you honey

While I'm singing the blues

[Chorus]

I swear my horse got summer rag

Brother, I can name you a few

But I gotta get soft and I showed you truth

Cause I know what I'm gonna do

I gotta get drunk, I just can't stay sober

So many good people in this town

They like to see me hollar and spend every dollar

I don't wanna let them down

I'm pretty sure a doctor would tell me

That I gotta start slowing it down

But I know so many drugs,I don't know so many doctors

So lets have another round!

[Chorus]

Well, I gotta get drunk

And I showed you how to

To know that I'm gotta chew

And spit out my money while

I'm calling you honey

While I'm singing the blues
