Sad is the man who drinks with himself
To fog up the day that precedes
Sad then to happy from happy to bitter
That bitter old man is meHey, hey, drink it all away
I said hey hey, drink it all away
And I dance for the light of the stars in the sky
And sleep all alone tonight1 for my headaches, 2 for the road
3 for my family and 4 for the show
5 for my sorrows, 6 for my wrongs
7 to hell with this songHey, hey, drink it all away
I said hey hey, drink it all away
And I dance for the light of the stars in the sky
And sleep all alone tonightWell, everyone feels the need to belong
Everyone feels the need for a cause
The forces of nature are naturally sure
But where's the effect? Where's the effect?Hey, hey, drink it all away
I said hey hey, drink it all away
Hey, hey, drink it all away
I said hey hey, drink it all awayAnd I dance for the light of the stars in the sky
And sleep all alone tonight, yeah
And I dance for the light of the stars in the sky
And sleep all alone tonight
