Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Feels  like a Friday night
 But it's only  Monday afternoon
 Still there's a party goin'  on in my livin' room
It's  just me and fifth of Beam
Swayin'  to the sounds of old George Jones
 And it won't be long 'til  the whole damn bottle's gone
And  I know it might sound sad
 But to tell the truth it ain't half bad
 I love my misery
 Gonna drown my  blues in a sea of whiskey
 I'm drinkin'  again
 Tryin'  hard  to hide the pain I'm in
 So don't give me  any shit, I know just  what I'm gettin' in
 Sure, it's a sin but  I don't really give a damn
 I'm drinkin' again
I've  got no friends to call
They've  all straightened up and settled down
 And they  don't ever wanna hang around
But  I guess I understand
This  house ain't much for company
 Smells like a cesspool here
 It's stinkin' nasty
And  you might say I'm bad off
But  I chose the road I strumbled across
 I picked my poison
Give  me another shot of bourbon
 Cause I'm drinkin'  again
Tryin'  hard  to hide the pain I'm in
 So don't give me  any shit, I know  just what I'm gettin  in
 Sure, it's a sin but  I don't really give a damn
 I'm drinkin' again
 Well fortunately  for me I find relief
 When the world is weighin'  down on me
 I pop a top, I  take a shot, I drop a pill
 Turn the radio up,  sit back and chill
Pretend  my life is a bed of roses
Try  not to notice all the ghosts
 That are hauntin me  and tauntin me
 And wantin me to cut my wrists
 So they can watch me bleed
 And laugh  at me, as I scream in agony
I  get high for the sake of my family
 Cause the alcohol is  all that's helpin me
 To cope  since I went broke and lost my hope
I  kicked my girl to the curb of the road
 You know I couldn't afford  to support us both
 Hell I'm not  rich, don't have a good job
 Do construction  work with this dude named Bob
 And he's an ass. Yells  at me all the time
 Pays minimum  wage on overtime
 Still he's got it  made, drives an Escalade
 And gets two hundred  times what I get paid
 But that's okay.
 I'll drink to his health and ruin mine
I'll  chug liquor and he can sip red wine
 And I'll be fine.  Trying to find some peace
 I'll quit payin'  my rent and I'll break my lease
 I'll live out  on the streets and beg for change
Crawl  in a box when it starts to rain
 Forget  my family and my friends
 Forget the world, ya'll,  I'm drinkin' again
 I'm drinkin'  again
Tryin'  hard  to hide the pain I'm in
 So don't give me  any shit, I know just  what I'm gettin in
 Sure, it's a sin, but  I done lost control
 And I'm drinkin'  again y'all
 I'm drinkin'  again
 I'm drinkin' again...
 I done said goodbye
 To the twelve-step program
 I'm drinkin'  again...
