Some days are better than others, most are better than this
I can't remember what I did last night and my girlfriend is pissed
She ain't taking my phone calls, she won't return my texts
I can't find my truck, all my cash is gone and my t-shirt smells like ***
Oh, I'm back in the gutter, singing the same old song
I thought I could handle myself this time, damn, I guess I was wrong
Why do I throw it all away, every single time
Right when I get back on my feet
I get a drinkin' on my mind
I used to be so cool, made the parties all complete
Now I just look sad when I stumble down the street
Folks like makin' fun, always pushin' me around
I get a drinkin' on my mind
You drunk-ass fool, better check yourself before we push you on the ground
Oh, I'm back in the gutter, singing the same old song
I thought I could handle myself this time, damn, I guess I was wrong
Why do I throw it all away, every single time
Right when I get back on my feet
I get a drinkin' on my mind
I'm in crisis, a young man in trouble
Took a wrecking ball to my life and now I'm sifting through the rubble
No damage control, the damage is done
All the bridges are burned and now I don't have anyone
I'm a liar, I'm a cheater, I'm a thief and a fool
I take whatever I can get, yeah, that's my golden rule
Lord knows I try to change it, but my will won't bend
I only hurt the ones I love in the end, friend
I stop and smell the roses, but the roses stink
Life sucks unless I'm a cheater, yeah, that's my golden rule
Life sucks unless I'm holdin' a drink
I'm gonna run back home to my mama
She always lets me in
Even though she told me a thousand times I couldn't come back home again
I'm gonna lock myself in doors
I'm gonna shake these demons loose
I'm gonna chuck all of my problems up to the alcohol abuse
Why do I throw it all away?
Every single time
Right when I get back on my feet
I get drinkin' on my mind
Well, I get drinkin' on my mind
Well, I get drinkin' on my mind
