Drinkin’ For A Livin’ © 1995, Larry Mofle You know the first few days I was fine then I started to sober up And that’s when the flood of mem’ries came till it filled my drinkin’ cup It was then and there I said I swear that I’d never think of you again And as the sayin’ goes, “You’re better off not knowin”, while I killed another sloe gin fizz Chorus: I’ve got to stop drinkin’ for a livin’ Lord knows it don’t pay too well Between the jukebox and tips I’ve noticed it Has turned my paycheck to hell I’ve got to stop drinkin’ for a livin’ There’s got to be something else to do I only drink to excess or oblivion But I’m gonna get over you Belly’d up to a bar won’t get you real far but it seems like the best thing for me And the next thing I know I hear, “Time to go!”, but you know I ain’t leavin’ ‘til three I heard a wise man say, “You won’t make it this way” and I guess he was prob’ly right I need to clear my head but I can’t instead cause it’s another straight tequila night Chorus
