I Got Drunk

Well I took a fifth, and I poured me a shot
And I thought about all the things that I haven't got
And I drank that down, and I poured me some more
Kept drinking and pouring till I felt the floor

I got drunk and I fell down
I got drunk and I fell down

Another slow day in this damn town
Keep asking yourself "why am I still hangin' around?"
You spend half your time just staring into a beer
What you need, man, you can't find here

I got drunk and I fell down
I got drunk and I fell down

Well I took a fifth, and I poured me a shot
And I thought about all the things that I haven't got
And I drank that down, and I poured me some more
Kept drinking and pouring till I felt the floor

I got drunk and I fell down
I got drunk and I fell down

I got drunk and I fell down
I got drunk and I fell down


Otherside (from Live and Otherwise cassette release)

Your money and your name add up to nothing
Of greater or less in my eyes
Don't expect me to treat you any different
With feelings I might sympathize

You never worked a day in your whole damn life
Positively never be any poor man's wife
You were born on that otherside of nothing
All you've ever known is a life of everthing

If you hadn't been born a politician's daughter
We'd probably get along fine
But you come from that otherside of nothing
So you'll go your way and I'll go mine

You never worked a day in your whole damn life
Positively never be any poor man's wife
You were born on that otherside of nothing
All you've ever known is a life of everthing

I lead a life I never meant to choose
Scraping up change to buy a twelve-pack blues
Now I've got it figured out, and it's no big deal
In this game of life, someone's gotta loose
That's me

Your ?? and your attitude add up to nothing
Of greater or less in my eyes
Don't expect me to treat you any different
With feelings I might sympathize

You never worked a day in your whole damn life
Positively never be any poor man's wife
You were born on that otherside of nothing
All you've ever known is a life of everything


I Drink Stag (unrecorded, often performed live with Brian Henneman)

I drink Stag
I drink Stag
I drink Stag
