Drinkin’ Song lyrics
by Jason Boland & The Stragglers
[Verse 1]
Jesus has my heart, but whiskey's got my liver
Floatin' through life like a raft on a river
I know what's right and I know what's wrong
I know how to quit but now it's been too long
[Verse 2]
Just the other day, I was thinkin' to myself
At least I still think to myself
Well everything works, except me of course
I still got some of my health
[Chorus]
Well I grit my teeth and I wish
I could stand up and ram my fist
Right through this wall that keeps on keepin' me in
I got sober, now it's over and I'm back to drinkin' again
[Verse 3]
See the time before I quit
I quit quittin' the very next day
So many times, hell, I lost count
I guess it just works that way
[Verse 4]
See I forgot how it felt to feel good in the mornin'
Mornin's were for goin' to bed
And I'd roll out the rack, a monkey on my back
I need a drink to ease my head
