Jones, George - I Gotta Get Drunk Lyrics






Well I gotta get drunk
And I sure do dread it
Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
I'll start to spend my money
Call everybody honey
And wind up singing the blues
I'll spend my whole paycheck
On some old wreck
And brother I can name you a few
But I gotta get drunk
And I sure do dread it
Cause I know just what I'm gonna do

I gotta get drunk I just can't stay sober
There's a lot of good people in town
Who'd like to hear me holler
See me spend my dollars
And I wouldn't think of lettin' 'em down
There's a lot of doctors that tell me
That I'd better start slowin' it down
But there's more old drunkers
Than there are old doctors
So I guess we'd better have another round
Well now I gotta get drunk

Well I gotta get drunk

  13. f.... ....

    good ol days

  14. B.... ....

    Is it just me, or does the melody to this sound an awful lot like "Take This Job & Shove it" by Johnny Paycheck? They'd be perfect as a medley, in my opinion.

    B.... ....

    Meh; whatever. They kinda have a similar theme, so I think it would work. lol.

    B.... ....

    Isn’t take this job and shove it by David Allen coe? Sorry if I’m wrong

    B.... ....

    DAC wrote (and covered) "Take this Job", but Paycheck's version was better, IMHO.

  15. t.... ....

    The instrumental part in the middle is for the audience and the vocalists to have a break from singing to imbibe more of their alcohol of choice. I Love It!!! Great for singing when you're getting hammered!!!

  16. E.... O....

    Weird that YT has seemingly very version of this song ever recorded but the original Willie Nelson version I grew up listening to.

  47. c.... c....

    ...yep....

  48. s.... ....

    naw that Nashville "Hot new country" is not country music. There's nothing country about it. Even the accents are fake. Sounds like Bad 80's rock with a twang. Mullet Country.

    s.... ....

    I do agree with you. Like ol possium an Hagg sang,who going fill them shoe's. My opinion NOBODY

  49. s.... ....

    Good un Right here, Buddy!

  50. s.... ....

    What a great song. Be sure to check out The Little Willies version. Their guitar player is fantastic!

  52. R.... W....

    Where is my John Deere lawn mower. I want to go to the bar and have a drink after listening to this one.

  53. f.... ....

    "well i gotta get drunk and i sure do dread it"... aint that the sad but true fact haha

  54. a.... ....

    98.1 KVET-FM in Austin, Texas is basically the greatest radio station I've ever heard. The quality of the programming has been declining since Clear Channel bought the station a few years back, but it's still far and away the best in the metro area. 99.9 WACO-FM is pretty good too

  55. j.... j....
