I'm broken-hearted With all that this entails It takes some concentrated drinking To keep me on the rails I have to hide my face I have to hide my shame I don't wait 'til I'm sober 'Til I get drunk again I drink at home I drink out I drink in cocktail bars Falling down Seeing stars It suits me It suits me Going astray In all the bars from here to Mandalay They never close We never pay Chorus: My oh my We can't compete It's only heavy drinking that keeps us on our feet My oh my I can't complain If it weren't for heavy drinking We'd never play Sweet Jane (Reed) My my my, oh my The days go by I never quite forget her But goodness how I try Believe me Believe me Falling apart in bars I like to suffer for my art Just one more before we part Don't want to think About how much I drink It's a habit that's out of control Hope I never get dry before I get old. Trombone (trombone solo) Chorus Don't want to think About how much I drink It's a habit that's out of control Hope I never get dry (before you get) Hope I never get dry now (before you get) Hope I never get dry before I get old... mmmmm... mmmm
