Hillbilly With A Drinking Problem<\/p>\n
Hey Boregard, what ya doin tonight?
\nI\u2019m a goin outside and takin flight.
\nWhat chu sayin? You all can\u2019t fly.
\nBy 9:00 tonight—– I will be high.<\/p>\n
Ya old boozer, yer at it again.
\nYa drink more than Bobby Linn.
\nThe town drunk fer the past 8 years.
\nHe only knows \u2018more\u2019 & \u2018cheers.\u2019<\/p>\n
Why ya getting all liquored up fer now?
\nYa knows yer wife is gonna have a cow.
\nI\u2019m gonna fly like the \u2018witchy woman.\u2019
\nShe\u2019s the one The Eagles saw coming.<\/p>\n
Ya keep it up an you\u2019ll have the D T\u2019s again.
\nSee pink elephants and kiss your friends.
\nYou\u2019ll be a twitchin on the floor.
\nPuking and a barfing all over some more.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t chu a worry bout my drinkin now.
\nI don\u2019t care ifin my wife has a cow.
\nI be a celebratin the big occasion.
\nI be the leader of a bran new nation.<\/p>\n
What nation is that? The drunken nation?
\nNo. The Nation of Dalmatians.
\nYa know I got a slew o them dogs.
\nI have more dogs than I have hogs.<\/p>\n
You be Looney tunes is what you are.
\nYou\u2019re whacker than a crazy \u2018baar.\u2019
\nThat booze is a killin yer brain cells.
\nYer brain gets pickled, then it swells.<\/p>\n
Let me take ya somewhere tonight.
\nIt\u2019s a new meetin I think you\u2019ll like.
\nDo they show the old smut films?
\nI like em & the food. Fire up those kilns.<\/p>\n
This be an A. A. meetin. Might save yer life.
\nBefore ya get yerself killed by yer wife.
\nIt be a good thing fer you to do.
\nI don\u2019t wanna be havin to bury you.<\/p>\n
You can guess what Boregard said.
\nYeah, he\u2019s still drunk & out of his head.
\nHe said A. A. was \u201cDrunk A Logs\u201d fer all.
\nNot as fun as actually havin a ball.<\/p>\n
When he dies the town bar will go broke.
\nOn his tombstone will be his quote.
\n\u201cA beer to me is like a glass of water.\u201d
\n\u201cIf it was a lake I\u2019d swim like an otter.\u201d<\/p>\n
