I'm gonna get my drink on

I wanna hear me a sad song

My baby just left home

I didn't treat her right

Right here's where I belong

I'm gonna stay 'till the money's gone

If it takes me all night long

I'm gonna get my drink on

Well I got some little problems

And the only way to solve 'em is the sure-fire way I know

And when the going gets tough

Well the tough get going to the little bar down the road

I'm gonna get my drink on

I wanna hear me a sad song

My baby just left home

I didn't treat her right

Right here's where I belong

I'm gonna stay 'till the money's gone

If it takes me all night long

I'm gonna get my drink on

There's a cold bar stool for a hot-headed fool

And I'm gonna hop right to it

Or a seat a table with a jug of black label

When a 12-pack wont quite do

I'm gonna get my drink on

I wanna hear me a sad song

My baby just left home

I didn't treat her right

Right here's where I belong

I'm gonna stay 'till the money's gone

If it takes me all night long

I'm gonna get my drink on

Well Jo the bartender

She's a mighty good friender and she likes my company

When she says "last call for alcohol"

That won't apply much to me

I'm gonna get my drink on

I wanna hear me a sad song

My baby just left home

I didn't treat her right

Right here's where I belong

I'm gonna stay 'till the money's gone

If it takes me all night long

I'm gonna get my drink on

If it takes me all night long

I'm gonna get my drink on

Drink on Yeah

I'm gonna get my drink on
