The Fourth Night Of My Drinking

On the first night of my drinking I was looking for my keys

I was half blind and stinking and bloody at the knees

I had a built in fever and bright red cheeks

My checks and balances up shit creek

It was all in fun, I didn't hurt no one

Until I crawled back for more

Then there was damage done but I made it home

And woke up on the floor

On the second night of my drinking I was looking for my car

And as luck would have it I found it parked outside my favorite bar

I had a leather liver and lipstick streaks

I had a disposition of valleys and peaks

It was a lot of fun until I shot my gun

And the neighbors called the law

They didn't take me in but they let it sink in

That I was headed for a fall, headed for a fall

On the third night of my drinking I was yelling at your house

I had a stick in my hand and was convinced

Some man was in there hiding out

I had a foot on your door, you had me down on the floor

I woke up next morning and my jaw was sore

Then I was back at the bar and I was wanting some more

Then I was back at the bar and I was wanting some more

Then I was back at the bar and I was wanting some more

Until they tried to cut me off

On the fourth night of my drinking I had to go it all alone

As my friends list was shrinking and I was sinking like a stone

I had a steely eye, I had mouth full of grit, my disposition had gone full tilt

There was a taste in my mouth, I wasn't liking it

Guess, it will be through with me before I'm through with it

Guess, it will be through with me before I'm through with it

Guess, it will be through with me before I'm through with it
