I gotta get drunk

D

Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it,

G D

'cause I know just what I'm gonna do.

I start to spend my money, callin' everybody honey,

E A

and wind up singin' the blues.

G D

I've spent my whole paycheck on some old wreck,

A

and brother, I can name you a few.

D G

Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it,

D A D

'cause I know just what I'm gonna do.

D

2. I gotta get drunk, I can't stay sober,

G D

there's a lot of good people in town,

who'd like to hear me holler, see me spend my dollars,

E A

and I wouldn't think of lettin' 'em down.

G

There's a lot of doctors that tell me,

D A

that I'd better start to slowin' it down.

D G

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

D A D

so I guess we'd better have another round.
