Well I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it

Cause I know just what I'm gonna do

I'll start to spend my money call evrybody honey

And wind up singing the blues

I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck

And Willie 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

Well I gotta get drunk Lord I can't stay sober

There's a lotta good people in town

Who'd like to hear me holler see me spend my dollars

I wouldn't think of lettin' 'em down

Well there's a lot of doctors that tell me George

You'd better start slowin' it down

But there's more old drunks than there are old doctors

So I guess we'd better have another round

Well I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it

Cause I know just what I'm gonna do

I'll start to spend my money call evrybody honey

And wind up singing the blues

I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck

And Willie 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
