Sober Up To Drink

Taking a walk through the city tonight

Where the shadows, they call out your name

I walk by the lakes down by sewer canal

To the places that drowned in their shame

Tell me what in the world are you doing still here

And what is the thing by your side

There's a time and a place to reclaim all you had

I don't think it happens tonight

And I sober up to drink

And I change my mind to think

Well, there's no other plan for a man in my shoes left to do

Than to drink to sober up

But I can never give it up

No, there's no other plan for a man in my shoes left to do

Singing a song to a big crowded room

And I don't think I know all the words

I fall off the stage and I piss my own jocks

Yeah, I've fallen from grace, now it hurts

Tell me what in the world are you doing still here

And who is the lad by your side

There's a time and a place to reclaim all we had

I don't think it happens tonight

And I sober up to drink

And I change my mind to think

Well, there's no other plan for a man in my shoes left to do

Than to drink to sober up

But I can never give it up

No, there's no other plan for a man in my shoes left to do

Well, I've been on the road now, for many a day

I don't seem to get anywhere

The longer the journey, the shorter the fuse

Now my brain is exploding in fear

Tell me what in the world are you doing still here

And where the hell you been

There's a time and a place to reclaim all we had

And I hope that it's tonight

And I sober up to drink

And I change my mind to think

Lord, there's no other plan for a man in my shoes left to do

Than to drink to sober up

But I can never give it up

No, there's no other plan for a man in my shoes left to do
