(Verse 1)
Gotta $5 in my pocket
Want to buy me some gin
A drop of gas in the tank, let me
Think it over again
'Cause I'd rather be drunk on a cloud
Away from here than to be sober,
So sober
Yea
No friends comin' through I think I lost 'em all
No man to take their place
So I decided to make this call
That I'd rather be drunk and
Drive away from
Here
I don't want to be sober, no not sober
Yea
(CHORUS)
Broke and alone
No where to go
And lonlieness is killin' me s-s-slow
(Verse 2)
One stog left to light
I think I'll smoke just a half
By the time I finish this drink
I'll roll the last of the grass
'cause I'd rather feel pumped
Than to drown in my tears
That'll help me peel over, sleep the night sober
Yea
Did I drink too much?
'cause the road's all lop-sided
I only drove a small way
I thought I swore not to take this right
Now my air's bein' pumped
And I'm drenched in my tears
I don't want to peel over, just want to be sober
Yea
(Repeat chorus)
I wish I could have listened to my consience
And not drunk a drip
I wouldn't be here in so many pieces
I shouldn't have drank a sip
(Heavy breathing as music fades)
