Uncle Tupelo - Before I Break lyrics

On liquor I spend my last dime

Sunday morning, 8am

Cursing myself again

Drinking like this one might be my last

Memories of making jokes

Too much beer and talk-show hosts

One of them that's fading fast

Here's to waking up at night

Drunk and undressed by the side of the road

You're still thinking

That you can't go on like this

Before I break down

You keep saying thanks so much, I can't live

Thanks so much, I've had enough

Well, it'd do me just fine to make it through the night

On liquor I spend my last dime

A worried man drinks a healthy drink

But he drinks nine or ten until he's done

Then he'll tell you his life story

But he won't stop until he's told you and everyone

Here's to waking up at night

Drunk and undressed by the side of the road

You're still thinking

That you can't go on like this

Before I break down

You keep saying thanks so much, I can't live

Thanks so much, I've had enough

Well, it'd do me just fine to make it through the night

On liquor I spend my last dime

Memories of making jokes

Too much beer and talk-show hosts

One of them that's fading fast

Here's to waking up at night

Drunk and undresssed by the side of the road

You're still thinking

That you can't go on like this

Before I break down

You keep saying thanks so much, I can't live
