Dead Drunk Blues
My man is freakish drunk
This morning, daddy say, "Be yourself"
Oh, give me Houston, that's the place I crave
Oh, give me Houston, that's the place I crave
So when I'm dry, I drink, whiskey is just made
Oh, whiskey, whiskey is some folks' downfall
Oh, whiskey, whiskey is some folks' downfall
But if I don't get whiskey, I ain't no good at all
When I was in Houston, drunk 'most every day
When I was in Houston, drunk 'most every day
Lord, where's the police?
I drank so much whiskey, I thought I'd pass away
Have you ever been drunk, slept all in your clothes?
Have you ever been drunk, slept all in your clothes
And when you wake up, feel like you out of door?
Daddy, I'm gon' get drunk, just one more time
Where's the whiskey bottle?
Honey, I'm gonna get drunk, papa, just one more time
'Cause when I'm drunk, nothin' don't worry my mind
This morning, daddy say, "Be yourself"
Oh, give me Houston, that's the place I crave
Oh, give me Houston, that's the place I crave
So when I'm dry, I drink, whiskey is just made
Oh, whiskey, whiskey is some folks' downfall
Oh, whiskey, whiskey is some folks' downfall
But if I don't get whiskey, I ain't no good at all
When I was in Houston, drunk 'most every day
When I was in Houston, drunk 'most every day
Lord, where's the police?
I drank so much whiskey, I thought I'd pass away
Have you ever been drunk, slept all in your clothes?
Have you ever been drunk, slept all in your clothes
And when you wake up, feel like you out of door?
Daddy, I'm gon' get drunk, just one more time
Where's the whiskey bottle?
Honey, I'm gonna get drunk, papa, just one more time
'Cause when I'm drunk, nothin' don't worry my mind
