Life Of A Drunk"

They took me to the station and read me my rights.
Another drunken weekend full of bar room fights.

They took my picture and printed my thumb,
through me in a cell with another drunken bum.

As I tossed and I turned on that cold concrete floor.
I promised myself I wouldn't drink anymore.

But those are just words from a man sittin in jail.
Not knowing where I'm going could be headed straight for hell.

As they turned that lock with that special made key
They said I could go, I was once again free..

Five days have passed and the weekend has come
I'm locked up again, I'm drunk and I'm numb

I look to the side and what do I see
That same old bum on the floor next to me.
