The Alcoholic Blues

Blood on the Saddle is an American country-punk band, though often referred to as a cowpunk band, from Los Angeles, California, United States.

I need a bath, I need a shave 
I need a drink, that's what I crave 
I need a job, an apartment, too 
But the only thing I got's the Alcoholic Blues 

I need a woman, I need a wife 
I need to grow up and get a life 
I need a dollar for a bottle of wine 
But I haven't got a nickel and I ain't got a dime 

I need a doctor to cure my ills 
But I couldn't afford to pay the bills
When I awake and I start to shake 
Well, I wonder how much more my worn out body can take 

I try not to drink, I try not to smoke 
I'm looking for work, Ha, what a joke 
The alcoholic beverage industry 
Has made a life-long loyal customer of Gregory 
That's my story, that's my song 
That's how it's been for way too goddamn long
