"Gotta Get Drunk" lyrics

"Gotta Get Drunk"
(originally by Willie Nelson)

One, two, one, two, two
Yeah, that's right, I'm drunk

Well, I gotta get drunk
And I sure do dread it
Because I know just what I'm gonna do
I start to spend my money calling everybody honey
And wind up singing the blues
I spend my whole pay check on some old wreck
And brother, I can name you a few
Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it
Because I know just what I'm gonna do

Yeah, I gotta get drunk
I can't stay sober
There's a lot of good people in the town
That love to hear me holler, see me spend my dollars
And I would not think of letting them down
Yeah, well, there's a lot of doctors that tell me
Jack, you better start slowing it down
Well, there's more old drunks
Then there are old doctors
Fuck it, let's have another round

That's right, yeah, I gotta get drunk
And I sure do dread it because I know
Just what I'm gonna do
I start to spend my money
Thinking everyone's my honey
And wind up singing the blues
I spend my whole paycheck
On some old wreck
Oh buddy, I can name you a few
Well, I gotta get drunk
And I sure do dread it
I'll have a shot of Jack
C'mon, take it Charlie

Why yeah
Well, I gotta get drunk
And I know what I'm gonna do
I start to spend your money
Call your mama a honey
And we all wind up singing the blues
Spend your whole paycheck
On some old wreck
And brother, there's way too many
To call it a few
Well, I gotta get drunk
And I sure do dread it
Hey birthday girl, go
Go

Hey Willie
Yeah, I gotta get drunk
I sure do dread it
Cause I know just what I'm donna do
I start to spend my money
Calling everybody honey
And I wind up singing the blues
I spend my whole paycheck
On some old wreck
Brother I could name you a few
Well, I gotta get drunk
And I sure do dread it
Cause I know just what I'm gonna do

Yeah, I gotta get drunk
And I sure do dread it
Because I know just what I'm gonna do
I start to spend my money, other people's money honey
And I wind up singing the blues
Spend my whole paycheck on some old red
Brother fuck it, oh god
Yeah, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it
Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
Yeah, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it
Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
