Lyrics

Brand New Drunk

Baby what’s your name and could you really tell me how we got here?
I fooled around and fell in love and man, I went and lost a couple years
Last thing I remember it was February 1, 2009
Everybody there was dancing then my baby ran off with another guy
And what happened next came as no big surprise
I tried to find the end of the endless supplies

They say you only live once, but I tried it all twice
And chasing a woman’s love is the most dangerous vice
It always led to whiskey, man it always seemed to pair so well with wine
It’ll take about 25 goddang good years off of your life

Oh, her loving was nothing but a habit
No, it always seemed to leave me wanting more
Now that I’ve hit the bottom, everything’s gonna start looking up
Darling I’m turning over a brand new drunk
A Brand New Drunk

I’m trying to live by a brand-new philosophy
But I won’t join a fitness cult or start spelling my gains with a Z
I’m giving up on fitting in my figure, man I’m letting myself go
I’ve aged out of the Age of Information; I don’t even care no more.

I’m giving up the hard stuff, I’m gonna pay off all my debts
I’m gonna have a little talk with Jesus, and give up on these filthy cigarettes
Man, there’s something wrong but you gotta fight to make it right
But I still see her dancing with my demons at least twice a night (at least twice a night)

Oh, her loving was nothing but a habit
No, it always seemed to leave me wanting more
Now that I’ve hit the bottom, everything’s gonna start looking up
Darling I’m turning over
Darling I’m turning over
Darling I’m turning over a brand-new drunk
A Brand New Drunk
