I used to be a boozehound |
|
Spent my time downtown |
|
Gettin round |
|
Sittin in the barroom |
|
Tryin to get another drink |
|
'i think you've had enough' |
|
'come on... just one more' |
|
This time i ain't feelin so fine |
|
Whatcha say we get to downin |
|
Don't throw me just forget about the line |
|
I wish i could be drownin |
|
Sweet water... i ain't seen her in a while |
|
I don't know if i can face her |
|
I know she can always make me smile |
|
If i can't outrun my chaser |
|
I used to be a boozehound |
|
Buzzin round midtown |
|
Gettin loaded |
|
Tryin to get a number |
|
Feelin mighty good |
|
'is this guy bothering you?' |
|
'no, no, i was just...' |
|
All my life there ain't never been a drought |
|
That's probably been my downfall |
|
Even though, you know, |
|
I might be passed out |
|
I won't drop the high ball |
|
I know where the river flows |
|
And the lives that it devours |
|
Ain't it great i can touch my nose |
|
But i can't smell the flowers |
|
I used to be a boozehound |
|
Stumblin uptown |
|
Gettin higher |
|
Fallin off the barstool |
|
Rememberin where i left the floor |
|
'say buddy, you need some help' |
|
'no, i'm cool...' |
|
Come and get me you can be my boogeyman |
|
You can catch me on the rebound |
|
You may not fly like the candyman can |
|
But it's safer on the ground |
|
Just one more trip to the fun house |
|
They'll smother me with foam |
|
See, my brother, that's the one house |
|
That i can call my home |
