Drinkin'
she told me
that I was lame
with her middle finger in my face
wont waste her time with such a loser
so now I wallow in regret
wanna do something right but I haven't yet
why do my endeavors end up in failure
I think I'll go out drinkin'
drinkin' all night long
cuz if I go out drinkin'
then I can stop thinkin'
bout how the world done me wrong
I guess I shouldn't feel so bad
ain't got much reason to feel so sad
'cept that I'm poor untalented and ugly
I know its like they always say
good times and bad will come our way
but theres only one thing that'll make this easier
I think I'll go out drinkin'
drinkin' all night long
cuz if I go out drinkin'
then I can stop thinkin'
bout how the world done me wrong
so wrong
I sing this song and nobody sings along
I've got a friend
he's in my hand
he understands
he said to me everything wont be so bad!
I think I'll go out drinkin'
drinkin' all night long
cuz if I go out drinkin'
then I can stop thinkin'
bout how the world done me wrong
I think I'll go out drinkin' (think I'll go out drinkin')
drinkin' all night long (drinkin' all night long)
cuz if I go out drinkin'
then I can stop thinkin'
about how the worlds done me
how the worlds done me wrong (so wrong)

Sittin & Thinkin
I got loaded last night on a bottle of gin
And I had a fight with my best girlfriend
When Im drinkin I am nobodys friend
So please baby wait for me until they let me out again
I know the same thing has happened before
And each time it happens, I hate it more & more
When Im drinkin I am nobodys friend
So please baby wait for me until they let me out again
I spent a whole lotta time sittin & thinkin
Sittin & just thinkin bout you
If I didnt spend so much time sittin & drinkin
Wed still have the love I thought we knew
I wont promise the same thing wont happen again
But I can promise, itll be a long, long time till then
cause when Im drinkin I am nobodys friend
So please baby wait for me until they let me out again

Drinking Again
(johnny mercer, doris tauber)
Jeff beck group
[produced my mickie most, b side of columbia db 8359, 1968]
I'm drinkin' again
Thinkin' of when
You left me
That happened once so long ago, hmm
I've been havin' a few
And wishin' that you
Were right here by my side
Well i'm makin' the rounds
And settin' them up
A total stranger to myself
I'm just makin' a fool of myself
I'm just hopin' that you'll come right back once, someday,
But i know, i know, i know
That there's no second time around
Hmm. now, listen!
I know, i know, i know.
Sure i know i can borrow a smoke
Or sit here all night long and tell a joke
But after all is said and done
Who's gonna laugh,
Who's gonna laugh at a broken, a broken heart?
I've been drinkin' again
And thinkin' of when
Of when you left me
And that weren't so long ago,
Hmm
I've been havin' a few
You know that you know,
And wishin' that you
Were here right by my side
Hmm
Now listen one time!
I've been drinkin' again
I've been drinkin' again
Sometimes i can't help myself.
Hmm

You're Not Drinking Enough
I can see that you haven't recovered from the girl who let you down
And you'd sell what is left of your soul for another go-round
You keep telling yourself she means nothing and maybe you should call her bluff
But you don't really believe it
You must not be drinkin' enough
Well, the perfume she wore you can buy down at the Five & Dime
But on some other woman it don't smell the same in your mind
You keep telling yourself you can take it-
Telling yourself that you're tough
But you still wanna hold her
You must not be drinkin' enough
You'r not drinkin' enough to wash away old memories
And there ain't enough whiskey in Texas to keep you from beggin', "Please,
please, please."
She passed on your passion and stepped on your pride
Turns out you ain't quite so tough
'Cause you still wanna hold her
You must not be drinkin' enough
Ay-yl-yl-yl
Ask yourself why
You still wanna hold her
You must not be drinkin' enough
Ay-yl-yl-yl etc

You Aint Much Fun
(toby keith/carl goff, jr.)
I used to come home late and not a minute too soon
Barking like a dog, howling at the moon
Youd be mad as an ol red hen, up all night wonderin where I been
Id fall down and say come help me honey
You laughed outloud, I guess you thought it was funny
I sobered up, and I got to thinkin
Girl you aint much fun since I quit drinkin
Now Im paintin the house and Im mendin the fence
I guess I gone out and lost all my good sense
Too much work is hard for your health
I couldve died drinkin, now Im killing myself
Now Im feedin the dog, sackin the trash
Its honey do this, honey do that
I sobered up, and I got to thinkin
Girl you aint much fun since I quit drinkin
Now Im fixin the sink and Im mowin the grass
You made me a list and Im bustin my...wheel
All broke down, tails been (or talespin? ? ) draggin
Its a tough ol life up here on the wagon
Now Im feedin the dog, sackin the trash
Its honey do this, honey do that
I sobered up, and I got to thinkin
Girl you aint much fun since I quit drinkin
Yeah, I sobered up, and I got to thinkin
Girl you aint much fun since I quit drinkin

Telephone Calls
Telephone calls
Apartment a is at it again
Paper thin walls
Shes been sleeping around with other men
And other women
But right about now her head is swimming
Hes breakin up the furniture
Screamin and a yellin
About to beat the hell outta her
Chorus 1
Television ringin in my ear
Ive been thinkin
Havent had a break in 20 years
Ive been drinkin
Telephone calls
Insanity is just another ring away
I get the paper
Take a look at it every single day
Another episode
Another life flushed down the camode(spelling? )
Were all carrying such a heavy load
I get no slack
Its breakin my back
Chorus 2
Television ringin in my ear, Ive been drinkin
Havent had a break in 20 years
Ive been thinkin get me out of here..
til the coast is clear
Television ringinin my ear, Ive been thinkin
Havent had a break in 20 years
I keep drinkin television ringin in my ear,
I keep drinkin liquor, wine, and beer
Ive been thinkin
Get me out of here
Ive been thinkin..

Drinkin' Dark Whiskey
Drinkin' dark whiskey
Tellin' white lies
One leads to another
On a Saturday night
Don't ya cross your heart
Unless you hope to die
Drinkin' dark whiskey
Tellin' white lies
Well, the first drop burns
But the second one goes down smooth
Then that old black label
Gets a hold of you
It loosens your tongue
But it never tells the truth
Drinkin' dark whiskey
Tellin' white lies
One leads to another
On a Saturday night
Don't ya cross your heart
Unless you hope to die
Drinkin' dark whiskey
Tellin' white lies
When the bottle starts talkin'
Be careful what he might say
He talks in the dark
Like he never would in the day
Then he gets in trouble
Just as soon as he gets away
Drinkin' dark whiskey
Tellin' white lies
One leads to another
On a Saturday night
Don't ya cross your heart
Unless you hope to die
Drinkin' dark whiskey
Tellin' white lies
Well a little white lie
Don't mean anyone no good
When it's makin' the rounds
All over the neighborhood
Next thing you know
You're all misunderstood
When you're...
Drinkin' dark whiskey
Tellin' white lies
One leads to another
On a Saturday night
Don't ya cross your heart
Unless you hope to die
Drinkin' dark whiskey
Tellin' white lies
Drinkin' dark whiskey
Tellin' white lies..

Dont Tell Mama
(kim williams/jerry laseter/buddy brock)
I was headed north on highway five
On a star-lit sunday night
When a pick-up truck flew by me out of control
As I watched in my headlights
He swerved left then back right
He never hit the brakes
As he left the road
I found him lying in the grass
Among the steel and glass
With an empty whiskey bottle by his side
And through the blood and tears
He whispered in my ear
A few last words just before he died
Dont tell mama I was drinkin
Lord knows her soul would never rest
I cant leave this world with mama thinkin
I met the lord with whiskey on my breath
I still think about that night
And how that young man died
And how others sometimes pay for our mistakes
The last thing on his mind
As he left this world behind
Was knowing someone elses heart would break
Dont tell mama I was drinkin
Lord knows her soul would never rest
I cant leave this world with mama thinkin
I met the lord with whiskey on my breath
Dont tell mama I was drinkin

Well, yes, people I am a poor, drunken hearted boy.
Well, yeah, people I am a poor, drunken hearted boy.
I have a whole ocean of trouble,
And just a little, half pint of joy.
I drink because Im worried, I dont drink because Im dry.
I know if I keep on drinkin, Im liable to drink away my life.
But thats alright.
Baby, bring me another half-a-pint,
Im trying to drown these blues, yes I am.
People if you had my trouble,
Baby, I know youd be drinkin too.
Alright.
Baby, bring me some old grandads 100 proof.
Dont play like that man, youll make me thirsty.

Tiny Cities Made Of Ashes
Were going down the road to tiny cities made of ashes
Im going to hit you on the face
Im going to punch you in your glasses, oh no
I just got a message that said
Yeah, hell has frozen over.
I got a phone call from the lord saying,
Hey boy, get a sweater, right now.
So were drinkin drinkin drinkin drinkin coca coca cola
I can feel it rolling right on down
Oh right on down my throat now
As were headed down the road towards tiny cities made of ashes
Im gonna get dressed up in plastic
Gonna shake hands with the masses, oh no!
Does anybody know a way that a body could get away?
Does anybody know a way?
Were going down the road to tiny cities made of ashes
Im going to hit you on the face
Im going to punch you in your glasses
Im wearing myself a t-shirt that says
The world is my ashtray
Our hearts pump dust and our hairs all grey
And I just got a message that said
Yeah, hell has frozen over.
I got a phone call from the lord saying,
Hey boy, get a sweater, right now!
Does anybody know a way that a body could get away?
Does anybody know a way?
Were drinkin drinkin drinkin drink coca coca cola
I can feel it rolling right on down
Oh right on down my throat
As were headed down the road towards tiny cities made of ashes
Im going to lay down (at the spa? ) where they coat you in molasses
Right now!

Shell Have You Back
(track 3 - time 3:25)
(deryl dodd/blake a. chancey)
Once upon a lonely time
She swore shed never let you down
You held her tight without a care in mind
While she did her runnin round
At first you wouldnt face the truth
You loved her too much to let go
And though the story had to end
You wanna be her fool again
Friend theres something you should know
Shell have you back
Back to drinkin in no time
Back to walkin on your knees
Boy open up your eyes and see the light
Some things just arent meant to be
I understand how she can get to you
cause shes made more than one man blind
So try and face the cold hard fact
She would gladly have you back
Back to drinkin in no time
It just dont make no sense to me
To play a game youll never win
You asked me here for my advice
You say she wouldnt break you twice
Friend youd better think again
Shell have you back
Back to drinkin in no time
Back to walkin on your knees
Boy open up your eyes and see the light
Some things just arent meant to be
I understand how she can get to you
cause shes made more than one man blind
So try and face the cold hard fact
She would gladly have you back
Back to drinkin in no time
So try and face the cold hard fact
She would gladly have you back
Back to drinkin in no time

The Spider & The Fly
Sittin thinkin sinkin drinkin
Wondring what Ill do when Im through tonight
Smokin mopin maybe just hopin
Some little girl will pass on by
To wanna be alone
But I love my girl at home
I remember what she said
She said, my! my! my!
Dont tell lies!
Keep fidelity in your head!
My! my! my! dont tell lies!
When youve done your show go to bed
Dont say hi! like a spider to a fly
Jump right ahead and youre dead!
Sit up fed up low down go round
Down to the bar at the place Im at
Sittin drinkin superficially thinkin
About the rinsd out blonde on my left
And then I said hi! like a spider to a fly
Remembring what my little girl said
She was coming flirty
She lookd about thirty
I would have run away, but I was on my own
She told me later shes a machine operator
She said she liked the way I held the microphone
I said, my! my! my! like a spider to a fly
Jump right ahead in my web!

Hard Times And Misery
(Marty Stuart)
Another day on Highway 41
It's a long black snake that runs to the sun
My mama told me since the day I was born
Son, down in the southland is where you belong
So, I'm pitching nickels, pitching dimes
Talking trash and drinkin' wine
It's just another day in the life of me
Hard times and misery
I got a mansion looks like a shotgun shack
I draw my money from a cotton sack
But I finally found one thing that's free
That's been hard times and misery
So, I'm pitching nickels, pitching dimes
Talking trash and drinkin' wine
It's just another day in the life of me
Hard times and misery
Watermelon's are hanging on the vine
Thirty some odd years of wasted time
When I wake up, Lord, that's all I see
It's hard times and misery
But there's a train that runs through this town
Every evening when the sun goes down
Tomorrow night at 8:03
No more hard times and misery
So, I'm pitching nickels, pitching dimes
Talking trash and drinkin' wine
It's just another day in the life of me
Hard times and misery

Three Minute Positive Not Too Country Up-temp Love Song
This is a three minute song
To tell her that I love her
And how wonderful we get along
A sweet sentiment that's borderline slick
A lotta right and not much wrong
It's a little bit edgy, but softer than spaghetti
Weak yet redundantly strong
It's a three minute positive
Not too country up-tempo love song
Yeah, it's a three minute positive
Not to country up-tempo love song
It's a way to tell her that I love her
But it can't be too long
There'll be no drinkin', no cheatin',
No lyin', no leavin'
That stuff it just don't belong
In a three minute positive
Not too country up-tempo love song
You won't hear four-letter words
Just me tellin' her
That she's the every breath I draw
And how I can't live without her
And I could never doubt her
'Cause she could never do no wrong
Well it's the right amount of timin'
The proper form of rhymin'
A little guitar then it's gone
It's a three minute positive
Not too country up-tempo love song
Yeah, it's a three minute positive

Just wanna sit in a tree, sail out to sea, live like some fantasy, ahh baby.

Tired of goin to get layed at the lost and found.
Tired of dealin with love hurt feelings, and all I got to say,
In view of all thats been goin down,
I think Ill go on out and pass it around.
I wonder why Im doin, what Ive been doin for a while.
Cant say its the money, no, so maybe its the style.
cause dreamin, baby, thats the way that I like it.
Just wanna get on a plane, go some place insane, throw myself one real good fit.
cause Im tired of thinkin, and too much drinkin, all my troubles away.
Tired of goin to get layed at the lost and found.
Tired of dealin with love hurt feelings, and all I got to say,
In view of all thats been goin down,

I think Ill go on out and pass it around.
Listen to me baby.
Pass it around.

Whiskey Drinkin Woman
Close up the bar you know the gates of the brewery
Shes out there every night
And she sure aint drinkin tea
I love that woman, shes the best one that I had
But shes got this habit now and it sure is gettin bad
Chorus:
That whiskey drinkin woman
Is makin a poor man out of me
Shes got bottles in the kitchen
Even got them in my bed
Most times I see her now
Shes three parts out of her head
Dont know where I went wrong
I sure try to treat her right
But it sure upsets me
Seein her juiced up every night.
Chorus:
Lead:
Got to solve this problem
Wont you help me find the key
The way that things are going
Ill have to buy the distillery
She just stands there smilin
With a whiskey in each hand
Got to think of something
Dont know how much I can stand
Chorus:
Got to get myself together, start workin something out
Maybe if I tried some booze, Id know what its about
I love that woman, shes the best one that I had
But shes got this problem now
And it sure is gettin bad.
