Today was a drag, my mind is in rags
I know just what I'm gonna do
I'm headed downtown to a barroom I found
Where there's music, dim lights
And cheap booze
Gonna pour 'em down fast
Drink glass after glass
'Til I finally fall off of my stool
Then I'm gonna hoot, kick up my boots
Like a rubber-leg stumbling fool
A night on the town is the best thing I've found
For curin' what's hurtin' inside
Everyone knows that if you're feelin' low
The best thing to do is get high
Booze on the brain is like novocaine
For the pain in your heart and your mind
A night on the town is the best thing I've found
For curin' what's hurtin' inside
By that time I realize, I'm too drunk to drive
And drinking and driving don't mix
Besides this old car won't get very far
Now that it's stuck in this ditch
So I'll stumble on home, somehow on my own
And wake all the dogs on the way
And if someone I see asks whats wrong with me
Here's just what I'm gonna say
A night on the town is the best thing I've found
For curin' what's hurtin' inside
Everyone knows that if you're feelin' low
The best thing to do is get high
Booze on the brain is like novocaine
For the pain in your heart and your mind
A night on the town is the best thing I've found
For curin' what's hurtin' inside
I get to the lock, search in my pocket
And discover I can't find my keys
Won't know what to do, throw up on my shoe
And fall to the floor on my knees
I'll promise the lord I won't drink anymore
If he'll just help get me inside
And when I finally wake up
With my head full of lumps
I'll beg him to please let me die
A night on the town is the best thing I've found
For curin' what's hurtin' inside
Everyone knows that if you're feelin' low
The best thing to do is get high
Booze on the brain is like novocaine
For the pain in your heart and your mind
A night on the town is the best thing I've found
For curin' what's hurtin' inside
