Lyrics

Verse 1
Well I woke up with whiskey on my breath
Yea I woke up in a bar I never left
Yea I knew I had a good one coming on
drinking and singing hank williams songs
yea I reckon I was drinking in bed

Verse 2
I woke up Budweiser on my breath
Yeah I woke up in a tavern I never left
Yeah I knew damn sure that I would pay for this
when the town whore started shakin her hips
Yes I woke up I was drinking in bed

Chorus
Yes I was drinkin in bed
and seems I lost my head
Well it's better than be in Texarkana Fed
Yes I was drinkin in bed
lord I must have lost my head
and I reckon I was drinkin in bed

Verse 3
Well I woke up tequila on my breath
Yea I woke up in a honky tonk I never left
Yes I was a shootin um down and slurin my speech
winkin down the bar at a southern peach
and I reckon I was drinkin in bed

Verse 4
Well I woke up with regret on my breath
Yes I woke up in an alley I never left
Yea I know my drinkin it is a sin
but the women and liquor seem to lure me in
and I reckon I was drinkin in bed

Chorus
Yes I was drinkin in bed
and seems I lost my head
Well it's better than be in Texarkana Fed
Yes I was drinkin in bed
lord I must have lost my head
and I reckon I was drinkin in bed

Yes I was drinkin in bed
and seems I lost my head
Well it's better than be in Texarkana Fed
Yes I was drinkin in bed
lord I must have lost my head
and I reckon I was drinkin in bed
