  • Well, I'm drinkin' once again
    Just to make the pills kick in
    I'm drinkin', once again there ain't no doubt
    You better look out, drinkin' once again
    I want to scream and shout
    Want to let the bad guys win, let 'em out

    I used to be as sober as a hangin' judge
    Now the law has went and left me flat
    You better go around, baby, now I won't budge
    Thinkin' I'm back, knockin' 'em back
    Knock knockin' 'em back

    I'm drinkin', once again
    Just to make them pills kick in
    And just to see the bad guys win

    I used to be as sober as a hangin' judge
    Now the law has went and left me flat
    Better go around, baby, now I won't budge
    I'm back, knock knockin' 'em back
    Knock knockin' 'em back

    Here's a dollar, gotta get more money
    Here's a bottle, now I'm funny

    Drinkin' again
    Just to make the pills kick in
    Oh, you ain't gettin' used to me at your university
    Just want to let the bad guys out

    I used to be as sober as a hangin' judge
    Now I see the law has left me flat
    Out of my way, go around, baby, I won't budge
    Knockin' 'em back
    Knock knockin' 'em back
    Knock knockin' 'em back

    Well, I know it's almost over and that ain't no lie
    Spirits that I'm drinkin' once again
    Last night I got up and I got dressed to cry

    Drinkin' again, drink drinkin' again
    Drink drinkin' again
    Drink drinkin' again, drink drinkin' again
    Drink drinkin' again
    This here to you, baby
