Reelin'

(album: This Time We Mean It - 1975)

When I get dragged down by the problems of the day
I watch my inspiration as it slips away
I start to think 'bout the things are going fine
I'm feeling sorry and I start to drinking wine
I got to reeling
From drinking wine I get to reeling
I start forgetting
Woah man, I get to reeling

My taste has grown for wine I like it very much
I hate to think of myself needing such a crutch
When I get tense and seems like things are closing in
I feel I must escape and that's when I begin
I got to reeling
From drinking wine I get to reeling
I start forgetting
Woah man, I get to reeling

Don't want my drinking to affect the things I do
They say a bottle can ruin a lifetime
But I can recommend a fundamental cure
It just might help you now and get you through the nighttime

[guitar solo]

Don't want my drinking to affect the things I do
They say a bottle can ruin a lifetime
'Cuz I can recommend a fundamental cure
It just might help you now and get you through the nighttime

Well, just like anything it's bad when it's abused
I'd hate to try to count the bottles that I've used
Or take more heat in what I say than what I do
You can't enjoy but you must know how much to use
I got to reeling
From drinking wine I get to reeling
I start forgetting
Woah I get to reeling
I got to reeling
From drinking wine I get to reeling
I start forgetting
Woah boy, I get to reeling
Oh my, I get to reeling
From drinking wine I get to reeling
Woah, oh, I get this feeling
From drinking wine I get to reeling
Ah, woah, woah
From drinking wine I get to reeling
(I get reelin')
I get this, get this feeling
(I get reelin')
Drink too much wine I get to reeling
(he get reelin')
From drinking wine I get to reeling
[to fade]
