Lyrics

One more night,

First one in,

giv ing this town lots to talk a bout.

But they don’t know what they don’t know.

Peo ple say I got a (Bm)drink in’ prob lem.

That ain’t no rea son to stop.

Peo ple say in’ that I’ve (Bm)hit rock bot tom,

just ’cause I’m liv ing on the rocks.

It’s a bro ken heart ed (D)think in’ prob lem,

so pull an oth er bot tle off the wall.

Peo ple say I got a (Bm7)drink in’ prob lem, but I got no prob lem drink in’ at all.

They keep on talk in’, (F#m)draw in’ con clu sions.
