Lyrics George Jones

George Jones

A Drunk Can't Be A Man

He embarrasses his child and wife

Lord, he leads a miserable life

But still he thinks the bottle in his right hand

If' he can tear down more than he's ever built before

A man can be a drunk sometimes

But a drunk can't be a man.

He left your business lag behind

For the nightlife he can find

Why he does all this he'll never understand

And in the morning when he wakes up

Lord, he can't wait to fill his cup

A man can be a drunk sometimes

But a drunk can't be a man.

For he goes from Dr. Jekyle to Mr. Hyde

He seems bound to have the devil for his guide

If he keeps on reachin' out

Lord, he needs a helping hand

But a man can be a drunk sometimes

But a drunk can't be a man.

Yes, man can be a drunk sometimes

But a drunk can't be a man...
