tonight i drunk so much

lyrics

tonight i drunk so much i couldn't drunk no more
i'm thanking all my angels for showing me the floor
'cause without a floor i'd be on air
an astronaut with not a care
i'd start to wonder what all this is for

tonight i drunk so much that things are back the same
her eyes, her nose, her lips that always said my name
i used to think it was the drink
that turned her back on me
but she's back to me tonight like an old flame

i told her i would never let another drink get in our way
and if it asked me out to play i'd have to say "another day"
i told her i would never drink until the drink was drinking me
until it dragged me out to sea and let me sink in misery
i told her i would never lie about the times when i was getting
drunk enough to keep forgetting i was letting everything drift on by
bye-bye

tonight i drunk so much i never knew no pain
i'd eat up that whole cake someone left out in the rain
if i could sway a better way
i'd have my final drink today
but tonight a drink goes right straight to my vein
