One more night, one more down One more, one more round First one in, last one out Giving this town lots to talk about But they don't know, what they don't know People say I've got a drinkin' problem That ain't no reason to stop People sayin' that I've hit rock bottom Just 'cause I'm living on the rocks It's a broken hearted thinkin' problem So pull another bottle off the wall People say I got a drinkin' problem But I got no problem drinkin' at all They keep on talkin' Drawing conclusions They call it a problem, I call it a solution Last call gets later and later I come in here, so I don't have to hate her Same old folks, same old songs The same old, same old blue neon The same old buzz, just because People say I've got a drinkin' problem That ain't no reason to stop People sayin' that I've hit rock bottom Just 'cause I'm living on the rocks It's a broken hearted thinkin' problem So pull that bottle off the wall People say I got a drinkin' problem But I got no problem drinkin' at all They keep on talkin' Drawing conclusions They call it a problem, I call it a solution Just sitting here in all my grand illusions They call it a problem, I call it a solution Just a solution It's a broken hearted thinkin' problem So pull another bottle off the wall People say I got a drinkin' problem But I've got no problem drinkin' at all They keep on talkin' Drawing conclusions They call it a problem, I call it a solution Just sitting here in all my grand illusions They call it a problem, I call it a solution
