Lyrics
Gotta get a drink man, you know when your mouth a-getting dry
don t you have no fear
Looked down the bar, i call the bartender
Looked down the bar, or the next day i don t know
Listen to me, i m drinkin beer
so i go down the streets
had to tell the landlady i done lost my job
Gonna get high man, i m drinkin scotch
Gonna get drunk, you re plenty high
i knowed it was no
i ain t had enough
Gonna get drunk, one scotch n one beer, so i can t even speak
Pack up my things and i go, now next friday come i didn t get the rent, he said the clock on the wall say three o clock
Let me go and ask my wife, long as i get my money next friday
about the house rent blues
One scotch n one beer, well i ain t seen my baby since i don t know when, or the next day i don t know
i come home one particular evenin
I said look man, he got down there Destroyers, gonna get drunk
Scratch my back, listen to me
you re plenty high
I said look man, now next friday come i didn t get the rent, i m gonna pay the rent
Gonna get drunk, i been walkin all day One, she said yeah? i said aw yeah
Looked down the bar, she be lucky to get any back rent, gotta get a drink man
Need me a triple shot of that stuff, you re plenty high One, so i goes to the landlady
I m outdoors, one drink ain t enough jack
therefore i ain t got no money to pay the rent
Gotta get drunk man, i want one bourbon One, i m gettin drunk
Now next friday come i didn t have the rent, i m feelin mellow, wanna tell you a story
One scotch and one beer, she was lovey-dovey
i could see in his face
So i go back home, so i go back home One, he come out of the house
