S-U-R-V-I-V-E

I was always that boy getting into trouble Sneaking bottles from my daddy's cupboard At least he knew that my mama tried Tonight I showed up 10 minutes late but to me that was early If ain't getting paid then I ain't in a hurry It's closing time but I'm still ready to drink Cause I'm under the influence of Merle Haggard and Waylon Walking down a road near College Station Can't find my ride I'm too drunk to drive If I could find my keys I'd get a DU I'm running on a cheap bottle of old Jim beam and a half empty can of nicotine Under the influence of Hank and I'll S-U-R-V-I-V-E All my friends have done gone home And I'm sitting here on a sidewalk alone All the honkytonks are shutting down The sun's waking up and my head It's a hurting time to call up one of those blonde headed nurses Get somewhere to sleep and maybe an IV Cause I'm under the influence of Merle Haggard and Waylon Walking down a road near college station Can't find my ride too drunk to drive If I could find my keys I'd get a DU I'm running on a cheap bottle of old Jim beam and a half empty can of nicotine Under the influence of Hank and I'll S-U-R-V-I-V-E Everything will be alright just as long as I make it through tonight I'll survive But right now I'm Under the influence of Merle haggard and Waylon Stuck in some apartment don't know the location Think I lost my keys hope they don't tow my truck Cause I'm running on a cheap bottle of old Jim beam and a half empty can of nicotine Under the influence of Hank and I'll S-U-R-V-I-V-E
