Lyric I m Drinking Again

(Ry Cooder & Jim Keltner)

Yes, it s me and I m drinking again
Tell everybody I m drinking again
Doctor said it d kill me
But he didn t say when
Have mercy, I m drinking again

Yes, it s me and I m drinking again
I d like to dry out but I doubt if I can
My baby said she d quit me but she didn t say when
Cause I m drinking again

Working two jobs, tryin to get straight
Don t need the money, just want to lose weight
Gonna get you all the things that you lack
Diamond ring and a red Cadillac
Came home drunk and pushed you around
Don t you quit me baby, don t you put me down

I ll never do it again
I ll never do it again
I ll never do it again
I promise this time

I came home last night about half past four
Whole neighborhood was rocking out on my floor
And my baby was working up under the sheet
With a teenage boy that lives down the street
I grabbed a bottle, he grabbed a gun
I heard somebody holler: "Shoot him fore he runs"
And that s the reason why I m drinking again
Tell everybody I m drinking again
You can t lick em and you just can t win
Yes, it s me and I m drinking again

Ain t it enough to start you drinking again
We got to live in a world full of sin
Thank you Jesus for what you have done
I m sick and tired tryin to be number one
Change my suit, change my shirt
Change what I dig and get out of the dirt

I ll never do it again
I ll never do it again
I m going to get back in my gin
I m drinking again
