Hey brother, where the hell have ya been?
Yeah, don't you know it's always nice to see a friend?
Yeah, but I see you time and again
Well, I ain't been up to nothing, I'm just hanging around
And you can find me in every single stinkin' bar in town
Lord, I do get around
Yeah, but there ain't no way out, so I'm stayin' in
Drinkin', drinkin' my blues again
I've got my friends, got my time
We chip in, buy a nice cheap bottle of wine
Get that cheap stuff most of the time
We get along 'cause we're one and the same
We're all messed up, washed up, out of luck
It's a shame, Lord, it's a cryin' shame
Yeah, but there ain't no way out, so I'm stayin' in
Drinkin', drinkin' my blues again
Start drinkin'
Now I ain't talkin' about no light-weight, penny ante weekend warrior
I'm talkin' 'bout drinkin'
Talkin' 'bout when got two bucks left, you don't want nothin' to eat
You just gotta keep drinkin'
Talkin' 'bout when you get home at three, but you don't make it 'til four
'Cause you can't find the door
Went home, went straight to my bed, I didn't make it that far
I fell on my head
Woke up to the morning light, burned a hole in my brain
'Cause the sun's so bright
Reached out for the first thing I could find
Was as half drunk bottle of some cheap wine
I stood up and I drank it down
Started my day by standin' around
And I can't see my that light through my bloodshot eyes
The way I'm livin', you'd guess it ain't no surprise
Yeah, whether I live or I die
You've seen the worst, you've seen it all before
We got you now, you're such a tragic bore
You keep knockin' on my door
Yeah, but there ain't no way out, so I'm stayin' in
Drinkin', drinkin' my blues again
Yeah, but there ain't no way out, so I'm stayin' in
D-D-D-drinkin', drinkin' my blues again
