I Gotta Quit Drinkin

(Vs)
Wasn't lookin for nothin, but a Vegas rendezvous.
Not out to buy no ring; house on "Tied Down" avenue
Was only wantin a night of lovin; just to get me through;
never thought I'd be standing there, waitin for your "I do"
(Ch)
I gotta quit drinkin
It'll be the death of me
I gotta quit drinkin
It brings misery
Should've cleared my head
but I drank instead
What was I thinkin
I gotta quit drinkin
(Vs)
Never made you happy; oh far as I can tell
Or do a damn thing right; at least that's what you'd yell
Should've left but whiskey; clouded my judgment to hell
If it weren't for that bottle; there'd been no wedding bells
(Ch)
I gotta quit drinkin
It'll be the death of me
I gotta quit drinkin
It brings misery
Should've cleared my head
but I drank instead
What was I thinkin
I gotta quit drinkin
(Bridge)
Since you're back for your stuff,
I thought I'd speak my mind;
You aint the only one
Who's had enough
oh
(Ch)
I gotta quit drinkin
It'll be the death of me
I gotta quit drinkin
It brings misery
Should've cleared my head
but I drank instead
What was I thinkin
I gotta quit drinkin
