Lyrics The Dickies

The Dickies

Sobriety

i got a steady job but i'm living a lie

i'm a drunken slob i've got a d.u.i

sobriety, sobriety

when i was 17 i had my first drink

now i'm 43 and i'm seeing a shrink

sobriety, sobriety

mom i'm living at the chandler lodge

somebody wants to sell me the dodge

it's another gift of sobriety

it took a fifth of vodka just to put me to sleep

now you take away the liquor and your left with a creep

sobriety, sobriety

you've got a lot of nerve to tell me things are ok

if you want to keep it gotta give it away

sobriety, sobriety

mom i'm living at the chandler lodge

somebody wants to sell me the dodge

it's another gift of sobriety

everybody knows

the emperor's got new clothes

i'm gonna make the story sad

but it's the best friend i ever had

i know it's gonna kick my ass

so go ahead and pour another glass

sobriety

sobriety

mom they threw me out the chandler lodge

so now i'm sleeping in my dodge

it's another gift of sobriety

mom they threw me out the chandler lodge

so now i'm sleeping in my dodge

it's another gift of sobriety
