I Can't Drink Enough Beer
Alcoholic drinking his life away in a bar.
Story behind the song
Some alcoholics get better but some drink themselves to death. Not a happy tune but true. I work in the field of addictions and, sadly, people die all of the time from that horrible disease
Lyrics
V1
I know the feeling of being alone
setting this bar with nothing left at home.
I don’t want to be here but here I am,
the clock on the wall reads 2am .
V2
I always try to hook up with another bar fly,
it’s not just the beer that gets me high.
Maybe it’s her place or maybe it’s mine,
I’m just looking for a good time.
Chorus 1
I’m in here night after night,
I know it ain’t right.
It’s been like that since the divorce.
I’m just trying to get back on that horse.
V3
Each day is worse than the one before,
no one wants to talk to this drunk anymore.
For some it’s the bottom and for some its hell;
I know a few more drinks make me well.
Chorus 2
I gotta get out of here.
I can’t drink enough beer
to feel the way I want.
I need to get out of this haunt.
V4
Doc says quit drinking or you’re gonna die;
it’s to the point where I barely by;
When I die there’s no one around
to put me in my final place in the ground.
