I'm tired of waking up with these aches in my head
Pain in back, stranger in my bed
That ain't no way to live, that's what my momma she said
I keep wondering when it's gonna end
You see, it started way back when I was seventeen
My head was fuller and my face was clean
And so I got a fake ID and made my way to the bar
See, I took what I had, I threw it in the trunk
Turned back and went home and drunk
Now when I get started I can't hardly stop
Until the bars close or someone calls the cops
I say please don't incarcerate me
Cause I'm on my way home, but I ain't alone
Ever since I can remember I've got a bottle on my side
It calms my nerves, it eases my mind
Helps me steady my shake-a-shaky hands
I ain't off the wagon, I was never on
But hey pretty lady, can you drive me home
[Chorus]
Round and round, give me some more
I ain't gonna stop til I hit the floor
One of these days I might get straight
Won't be tonight, so you'll have to wait
Everything I got, you know that I'm gonna use it
And everything I got, I know I'll just abuse it
But I could still stand me a bit of abuse tonight
You see, babe, I ain't coming home until the morning light
Now it's drinks all night and it's drinks for free
And I'll be having another whiskey, please
You know it still ain't easy for good time to come by me
See, I drink some more and then I fall on my face
Get back up and then I pick up the pace
[Chorus]
