Dogs And Chaplains

(album: Question The Answers - 1994)

Don't mind when it happens
No problem when I am saying it
But when I lose my mind, kick my behind
Because I hate when my mind keeps replaying it
I'm not bragging and I'm not proud
I hang around with a drunken crowd
We are happy, that I can say
And until we're not, I kid you not
We're gonna stay that way

My life would start to settle down (Johnny)
Then you came along and you turned it upside down (Vegas)
Drunks and children, they always tell the truth (Johnny)
But I'm sober and older, and could've held on to (My youth)

Drinking the other day
I said I loved you, you turned away
Maybe the drinking made me cry
But I'm a happy, very happy, very happy guy
Drunks and children, they tell the truth
And that's what I am, a drunken youth
And when I'm drinking, I don't know why
But I'm a happy, very happy, very happy guy

Sometimes when I am playing
I never watch what I'm saying
Sometimes I lose my head
I lose my head and things get said I never should have said
Sometimes I get housed
Housed, soused, and shoot off my mouth
And sometimes I kick it out
And I don't know what I'm talking about
I don't know what I'm talking about

Y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-ou know, I've made mistakes
I've had my ups and downs, my ins and outs
My share of bad breaks
But when it's all been said and done
I raise my beer and I swear, "God it's been fun!"
Good God, oh my God, good God, good God
Good God, good God, God, it's been fun!
Rock it!

Damn, that is...
