Dry

One, two, three

I didn't stay out late last night
So nothing's hanging over me today
And I'm ashamed to say but it's been a long, long time
Since I woke up in this good a shape
I've got no hammer against my head
And my recollection's fine
I've got no need for rehydration
'Cause I didn't go drinking myself dry

Drinking myself dry
Burning my belly full of holes
The more liquor I pour in the well
The more it drains everything else
Till liquor's all I'm a-thirsty for
I wind up sleeping in my boots
Waking up on the floor
Telling myself that it's alright
Just had a little too much last night
I've been drinking myself dry

Some days I wake up fighting mad
I feel like whooping my own tail
I stare in the mirror, I wanna put my fist right through
'Cause I can't stand looking at myself
But this morning I'm feeling quite well
Here with my children and my wife
I've got everything a man could hope for
Why I gotta go drinking myself dry?

Drinking myself dry
Burning my heart full of holes
The more liquor I pour in the well
The more it drains everything else
Till liquor's all I'm a-thirsty for
She's been telling me for years
You can't live like this for long
But I couldn't see that she was right
'Cause I had dust all in my eyes
I was drinking myself dry

But I think I've finally seen the light
I wiped the dust out of myself
I think I've drank myself dry
