I had to get drunk last night
I couldn't lay it down without a fight
I had to get drunk last night
When I should have been
sleeping with you
Now I'm the kind of man that needs
A gentle hand to hold on to
When I get on that crazy
cloud of mine
When I first looked into your eyes
The story of my life flew by
And every page was written in your hand
From I love you to baby, it's the end
I know the foods I've bought,
they have been made
And drunken hearted lovers all get sick
I had to get drunk last night
I couldn't lay down without a fight
I had to get drunk last night
When I should have been
sleeping with you
Now I ain't never been too good
at doin' the things I know I should
And I know I should make myself go on
But I drink to a memory
What never was will never be
And I don't feel no
changes comin' on
When I'm drinkin'
I don't notice that you're gone
I know a fool ain't born,
he has been made
But you have made the biggest fool today
I had to get drunk last night
I couldn't lay down without a fight
I had to get drunk last night
When I should have been
sleeping with you
When I should have been sleeping with you
