Lyrics The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Put a Bar in My Car

I just talked to the weatherman

It's gonna rain on me today

I dropped my bubblegum in the sand

And I had to throw it away

I got out of bed, scratched my watch and wound my head

I'm so mixed up that I can't think

I'm gonna put a bar in the back of my car

And drive myself to drink

There's a little black cloud raining down on my head

Washin' all my dreams away

Every stoplight I see turns red

I guess it just ain't my day

I might as well give up, my mind's an empty cup

I'm a ship gettin' ready to sink

I'm gonna put a bar in the back of my car

And drive myself to drink

I just talked to the weatherman

It's gonna rain on me today

I dropped my bubblegum in the sand

And I had to throw it away

I got out of bed, scratched my watch and wound my head

I'm so mixed up that I can't think

I'm gonna put a bar in the back of my car

And drive myself to drink, sha-la

Drive myself to drink
