Well I'm drinkin by myself While everybody else Sings songs down in the park Brown paperbaggin it after dark Well it's a plastic bag for me Carrying my groceries A few cans of champaign Chose the highlife, for the rain and the door man calls my name Good old Joe sure knows my game Well he says its the youth to blame I cant say I feel the same See I been nursin number one And too soon beer two is done And it's three four five six And their all empty again And theres still half the flask I always forget I have Sittin in my office With my .38 special revolver Still half the flask I always forget I have Sittin in my office With my .38 special revolver Sittin in my office with my .38 special revolver (x4) Lookin back Through another empty glass To the past When I was so small Peekin over a counter That was too tall Stealin my first sip Of alcohol This could be my last slug Of it all Still half the flask I always forget I have Sittin in my office With my .38 special revolver Still half the flask I always forget I have Sittin in my office With my .38 special revolver Sittin in my office with my .38 special revolver (x8) And if the dead haunt the places their bodies are found Chamber me, one last round to see If my luck will keep, if my luck will keep Oh yes chamber me, one last round to see If my luck will keep this gun company Drinkin by myself While everybody else Is passed out in the park Or goin home in police cars They sing Oh la a da Oh la tada da Oh la ta da Oh la ta da da Oh la ta da Oh la ta da da Oh la ta da Oh la ta da da Oh la ta da da Oh la ta da da
