Drinkin’ For A Livin’

© 1995, Larry Mofle

You know the first few days I was fine then I started to sober up

And that’s when the flood of mem’ries came till it filled my drinkin’ cup

It was then and there I said I swear that I’d never think of you again

And as the sayin’ goes, “You’re better off not knowin”, while I killed another sloe gin fizz

Chorus:

I’ve got to stop drinkin’ for a livin’

Lord knows it don’t pay too well

Between the jukebox and tips I’ve noticed it

Has turned my paycheck to hell

I’ve got to stop drinkin’ for a livin’

There’s got to be something else to do

I only drink to excess or oblivion

But I’m gonna get over you

Belly’d up to a bar won’t get you real far but it seems like the best thing for me

And the next thing I know I hear, “Time to go!”, but you know I ain’t leavin’ ‘til three

I heard a wise man say, “You won’t make it this way” and I guess he was prob’ly right

I need to clear my head but I can’t instead cause it’s another straight tequila night

Chorus
