They won’t miss me at the meeting
As I quest for deeper meaning
I can see clearer in the fog
Further from myself, closer to God
I have a few dollars
And a pocket full of pills
I have a few hours
And a life to kill
Let us drink to ourselves
Let us toast to someone else
Raise your glasses to the sky
Now is the time for getting high
Let’s drink until we die
Let’s drink until we die
They say I am needing help
That I am damaging myself
I cannot escape me
So I turn into someone else
Now’s the time for getting high
Let’s drink until we die
My ex does not understand
My bruised kid will, when he is a man
A family gene tradition
Intoxication is our mission
Raise your glasses high
Let’s drink until we die
Face down, I have prefect world dreams
Vodka springs, red wine streams
Crystal falls of champagne
Sweet Kentucky bourbon rains
Raise your glasses to the sky
Let’s drink until we die
I think,
What drunk could ask for more
As I crawl across the barroom floor
To pray in a once white walled room
That my death will come soon
Raise your glasses high
Let’s drink until we die
Where the hell are my keys
Fuck you and your taxis
Help me up
I know I can drive
Hey Joe,
How ‘bout one for the road
Let us drink to ourselves
Let us toast to someone else
Raise your glasses to the sky
Now is the time for getting high
Let’s drink until we die
Let’s drink, let’s drink
Let’s drink until we die
Hello my name is so and so
I am an alcoholic, don’t you know
It’s been three months since my fall
Haven’t had a drop of alcohol
But my mind is not at ease
I still have this disease
Should I thank God
I am alive
Or that
I will still want that next drink
Until the day I die
Until the day I die . . .
