Lyrics
It?s time to start drinkin? again?
Well I got me a puppy that poops everywhere,
and when he?s not poopin? he pees.
And I got me three cats, leaving hair here and there,
when it ain?t hair their leaving, it?s fleas
And I got me four kids who bicker about ?this?,
when they ain?t busy bickering about ?that?,
And I got me a wife, she?s the love of my life,
but she?s bringing home dogs, kids, and cats.
Oh it?s time to start drinkin? again
Oh I love my life dearly, but seeing things clearly,
is sometimes just too hard take
All these things I?ve been given, are surely from heaven,
but sometimes I need to escape
Oh it?s time to start drinkin? again. Said it?s time to start drinkin? again.
Well I got me a car, that smells like a cigar
Every time that I come to a stop
But if I can keep moving, the smell keeps improving
I can skip, a costly trip, to the shop
Well I got me a job, that pays all of my bills,
and a second, that pays all my wife?s.
And I got me two bosses, keep me focused at the office
and third one home focusing my life
Oh it?s time to start drinkin? again.
I don?t want a vacation, a mind relocation,
is all the trip I need to take.
No new physical attractions, just the mental distraction,
that loyally heals all my aches.
Oh it?s time to start drinkin? again. Said it?s time to start drinkin? again.
Well I got me a dream, that my dog grows up mean,
and he run them dang cats off my land.
And my kids all agree, to work happily
cleaning my brand new Trans Am
And my bosses give me raises, and more paid vacation
So much so that one job?s enough
And my wife becomes frugal, and lays off her bugle,
all she wants me to make her is ? love
Oh it?s time to start drinkin? again.
Oh I love my life dearly, but seeing things clearly,
is sometimes just too hard take
All these things I?ve been given, are surely from heaven,
but sometimes I need to escape
I control myself usually, but getting unruly,
is sometimes the one thing I need.
I?m sober the most times, but right now it?s toast time,
so raise up your glasses with me?
Oh it?s time to start drinkin? again.
Said it?s time to start drinkin? again.
Yeah it?s time to start drinkin? again.
