Intro: Verse Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it, 'cause I know just what I'm gonna do. I start to spend my money, callin' everybody honey, and wind up singin' the blues. I've spent 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. Refrain Verse I gotta get drunk, I 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 to slowin' it down. But there's more old drunks than there are old doctors, so I guess we'd better have another round. Refrain Verse Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it, 'cause I know just what I'm gonna do. I start to spend my money, callin' everybody honey, and wind up singin' the blues. I've spent 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. Refrain/Ending
