Been [bad word] 1000 times
To build my courage up
But the taste of liquor on my tongue
Just made my senses dumber than they were
My life’s a cumulative blur
But when I drink with you it makes me happier

Asked for the sun to shine
To lift my spirits up
But every ray of light just made my soul grow sadder
Darker still
There goes another wasted thrill
The only joy I [bad word] from the whiskey mill

So buy me another gin and tonic
Make me duller
But more exciting too
And find me a beer with a label on it
And darling
I’ll peel it off for you

I can’t see that I am going anywhere but down
I got a couple friends and a lot of sorrows to drown

So buy me another gin and tonic
Make me duller
But more exciting too
And find me a beer with a label on it
And darling
I’ll peel it off for you
