2 . i gotta get drunk , i can’t stay sober ,
G D
there’s a lot of good people in town ,

who’d like to hear me holler , see me spend my dollars ,
E A
and i wouldn’t think of lettin’ ’em down .

there’s a lot of doctors that tell me ,
D A
that i’d better start to slowin’ it down .
D G
but there’s more old drunks than there are old doctors ,
D A D
so i guess we’d better have another round .
