Walkin' home from the bar

I didn't get too far

'Cause I fell into a gutter with you

Now I'm chokin' on beads

And bitten by fleas

What's a drunken heart to do?

I asked you to leave me alone with my fears

And that's exactly how it went down

And now that I'm soaked to the skin with my tears

There's a good chance that I'll drown

Time to sober up

Put something good back in my cup

And get out of this gutter with you

I asked you more than once not to top off my glass

But you just let that liquor flow

I could see from the start that you had some class

But now I can see it's all low

And now I'm free at last

From the ghosts of your past

I'm no longer in a gutter with you

I'm no longer in a gutter with you
