Any mornin' – it's time to get up
Two glasses of beer and I’ve nowhere to go
Look in the window and nobody’s there
Nobody notices and nobody cares
I admit it ain't no kinda life
Not workin' 9 to 5 you know… [or any other hours]
Chorus
I’m only happy when I’m drinkin'
There ain't no place I'd rather be
When I’m drinkin'
Just my heart and my soul and my fantasies
When any evenin' finally rolls around
I don’t grab a taxi and or go anywhere
Or go to a place they call anything
Nothin' matters until the next drink
Well its a bitch tryin' to make ends meet
But that's the way the story goes
Chorus
I’m only happy when I’m drinkin'
There ain't nothin' makes me feel so free
As when I’m drinkin'
The boy's outrageous and it's plain to see
Solo
I ain't got much but I got some beer
Ya – I’m not doin' alright
My eyes are on the evenin's endin'
But I ain't goin' for no mystery
Because nobody rides for free
It doesn't scan any more since I butchered it and it doesn't apply to anyone I know, but:
A point for naming the original artist and points for the most original alterations!
