C Bb
On the first night of my drinking
Bb F
I was looking for my keys
C Bb
I was half blind and stinking
Bb F
And bloody at the knees
 
[Chorus]
Eb Bb
I had a built-in fever and bright red cheeks
F C
My checks and balances up shit creek
Eb Bb
It was all in fun, I didn't hurt no one
F C
'Til I crawled back for more
Eb Bb
Then there was damage done, but I made it home
F C
And woke up on the floor

And as luck would have it
Bb F
I found it parked outside my favorite bar
 
[Chorus]
Eb Bb
I had a leather, liver, and lipstick streaks
F C
Had a disposition of valleys and peaks
Eb Bb
It was a lot of fun 'til I shot my gun
F C
And the neighbors called the law
Eb Bb
They didn't take me in, but they let it sink in
F C
I was headed for a fall

Headed for a fall

The third night of my drinking

I was yelling at your house
Eb
I had a stick in my hand and was convinced
Bb F C
Some man was in there hiding out
 
[Chorus]
Eb Bb
I had a foot on your door, you had me down on the floor
F C
I woke up next morning and my jaw was sore
Eb Bb F C
Then I was back at the bar, and I was wanting some more

Then I was back at the bar, and I was wanting some more

Then I was back at the bar, and I was wanting some more

'Til they tried to cut me off

[Verse]
Eb Bb
On the fourth night of my drinking
F C
I had to go it all alone
Eb Bb
As my friends list was shrinking
F C
And I was sinking like a stone
 
[Chorus]
Eb Bb
I had a steely eye, had a mouth full of grit
F C
My disposition had gone full tilt
Eb Bb F C
There was a taste in my mouth, I wasn't liking it
Eb Bb F C
Guess, it will be through with me before I'm through with it
Eb Bb F C
Guess, it will be through with me before I'm through with it
Eb Bb F C
Guess, it will be through with me before I'm through with it
