Ive Got to Get Sober

Well, the life we've been given and the way we been livin'

That's the song that we write 'til we die

Now some people write songs on livin' just right

But I write mine on just gettin' by

And I'll go on a whim, start writin' the hymn that sounds so sweet

But the troubles and the sin of the world that we're in

Knock me back off my feet

I've gotta get sober, I've gotta start livin' right

And I don't know how it's gonna go

But it ain't gon' happen tonight

So pour 'em down strong 'til I drown

And if I wake up tomorrow when that sun comes back around

I'll be wishin' I was sober

Well, the liquor and the bowl, they been savin' my soul

From the pain that the world's put on me

Lord, I know that upstairs, there's an old man who cares

And one day, He'll set me free

I'll go on a whim, start writin' a hymn that sounds so sweet

But the troubles and the sin of the world that we're in

Knock me back off my feet

I've gotta get sober, I've gotta start livin' right

And I don't know how it's gonna go

But it ain't gonna happen tonight

So pour 'em down strong until I drown

And if I wake up tomorrow when that sun comes back around

I'll be wishin' I was sober

Well, the life we've been given and the way we been livin'

That's the song that we write 'til we die
