Willie Nelson — I Gotta Get Drunk Live 1978

[Chorus] Well I got to get drunk and I sure do dread it Because I know just what I'm going to do I'll start to spend my money calling everybody honey And I'll wind up singing the blues I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck And brother I can name you a few Well I got to get drunk and I sure do dread it Because I know just what I'm going to do [Verse] I got to get drunk, I just can't stay sober There's a lot of good people in town Who like to see me holler, see me spend my dollar And I wouldn't dream of letting them down There's a lot of doctors tell me That I'd better start slowing it down But there's more old drunks than there are old doctors So I guess we'd better have another round [Chorus] Well I got to get drunk and I sure do dread it Because I know just what I'm going to do I'll start to spend my money calling everybody honey And I'll wind up singing the blues I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck And brother I can name you a few Well I got to get drunk and I sure do dread it Because I know just what I'm going to do
