Punish Myself
Well, I wake up in the morning and stumble out of bed
Got a get a cup of coffee, figure out where I'm at
Well, a blond's on the left of me, a brunette's on my right
Tell me, mama, what happened last night?
I wanna know, oh, what did I do
You see, the last thing I remember we was laying it down
At a club called Bennies on the East side of town, well
Bennie came in, started buying us drinks
Hadn't had this much business since '68
He says as long as you keep rocking, I'll keep buying the rounds
I said there ain't enough whiskey in whole damn town
'Cause I punish myself
I gotta punish myself
I gotta punish myself
Ah (punish myself), punish myself
Gotta punish myself for being so damn good
Well, all week long ya know I work like a dog
To put food on the table, keep jam in them jars
Well I got an ex-wife and all my lady friends
Complain I ain't got enough money to spend
I wanna know, ah, what am I gonna do
You see, the trouble with women is they're always around
When you need a little comfort, and you're feeling down
Well the trouble with me is that I never say no
A woman or a bottle or better both
And as long as I keep rocking, they keep coming around
You know, you just can't keep a good man down
So I punish myself
I gotta punish myself
Punish myself
Punish myself
I gotta punish myself for being so damn good
Gotta punish myself
Punish myself
I gotta punish myself
Ah, punish myself
Gotta punish myself for being so damn good
And so I wake the next morning with this breath in my face
To find a woman whose name I can't seem to place
And I sleep all day on the back of a bus
Have a beer for breakfast and bourbon for lunch
By the time I get straight, well, it's time to play
And wouldn't you know it starts all over again
I've got to
Punish myself
Punish myself
I gotta punish myself
Punish myself
I gotta punish myself for being so damn good
I said, I punish myself (I gotta punish myself)
Punish myself (punish myself)
I gotta punish myself (punish myself)
Punish myself (punish myself)
I gotta punish myself for being so damn good
I said, I punish myself for being so damn good
I gotta punish myself for being so damn good
Ah, come on now, honey
Hurt me, hurt me real good
Ouch
Got a get a cup of coffee, figure out where I'm at
Well, a blond's on the left of me, a brunette's on my right
Tell me, mama, what happened last night?
I wanna know, oh, what did I do

I gotta punish myself for being so damn good
Ah, come on now, honey
Hurt me, hurt me real good
Ouch
