[Verse 1]
D
I was always that boy getting into trouble
G
Sneaking bottles from my daddy's cupboard
A D
At least he knew that my mama tried

A G
It's closing time but I'm still ready to drink
[Chorus]
D
Cause I'm under the influence of Merle Haggard and Waylon

Walking down a road near College Station
A
Can't find my ride I'm too drunk to drive
G F

D G
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

[Chorus]
D
Under the influence of Merle Haggard and Waylon
G
Stuck in some apartment don't know the location
A G
Think I lost my keys hope they don't tow my truck
