Gotta stop this drinking
Aint doing anyone any good
To be winding down my day
when I'm hardly gettin started
Gotta stop these long nights
even if I'm getting paid
kids goin' to bed nothin bein' said
it aint no even trade
why the bar have to be callin'
it's the one I can't ignore
when I'm playing on stage all night
and I can always play some more
thinking back to family
wife and kids in tow
knee deep in that fire water
where the music won't let go
gotta stop this drinkin'
my brain swims in my head
thank the Lord I made it home
assuming I ain't dead
my wife aint too well pleased
I ain't too well at all
Jesus would you keep that wine
Keep me from the fall
gotta stop this drinking
won't put up a fight
gotta stop this drinking
maybe after tonight
