The Town Drunk

(альбом: Skidrow Joe - Down In The Alley - 1970)

Town drunk, he's the town drunk
He was once a man of means but just look how low he sunk
The bright lights that glitter led him to the gutter
Now he's the town drunk

I know it I know I'm the town drunk but once I had a good life
A fine home and a loving wife
Why I was respected by the whole community
Then I got to drinking real real bad I lost everything I ever had
I just couldn't control my drinking and now my drinking it controls me

Town drunk, he's the town drunk
He was once a man of means but just look how low he sunk
The bright lights that glitter led him to the gutter
Now he's the town drunk
Yeah, that's right the bright lights that glitter led me here to this gutter
Now he's the town drunk
