 Tom:
 Well, I gotta  get drunk and I sure do dread it,
 'cause I know  just what I'm gonna do.
 I start to spend my money, callin' everybody honey,
 and wind  up singin' the blues.
 I've spent my whole  paycheck on some  old wreck,
 and brother, I can name you a few.
 Well, I gotta  get drunk and I sure  do dread it,
 'cause I know  just what  I'm gonna do.
 2. I gotta  get drunk, I can't stay sober,
  there's a lot  of good people in town,
  who'd like to hear me holler, see me spend my dollars,
  and I wouldn't  think of lettin' 'em down.
  There's  a lot of doctors that tell me,
  that I'd better  start to slowin' it down.
  But there's more  old drunks than there are  old doctors,
  so I guess  we'd better have  another round.
