Gettin' drunk and fallin' down has taken its toll on me
I like livin' life full throttle, but now it seems like I'm runnin' outta steam
I'll never give up on havin' fun and raisin' hell in Tennes- see
I like a good time livin' on the run with my good friend miser- y
'Cuase gettin' drunk and fallin' down, I'd say I'm known all over town
It's the kind of livin' that's gonna put me in the ground
Gettin' drunk and fallin' down
Well I did my best to stay on the good side of the tracks
But my friend Billy Joe's done got me drinkin' back outta the paper sack
And now I'm here drinkin' all a- lone at the bar
Buck Owens a-singin' about his honky-tonk scar
'Cuase gettin' drunk and fallin' down, I'd say I'm known all over town
It's the kind of livin' that's gonna put me in the ground
Gettin' drunk and fallin' down
Gettin' drunk and fallin' down
