I`M DRINKING AGAIN — текст песни (Ry Cooder)

(Ry Cooder & Jim Keltner)

Yes, it`s me and I`m drinking again
Tell everybody I`m drinking again
Doctor said it`d kill me
But he didn`t say when
Have mercy, I`m drinking again

Yes, it`s me and I`m drinking again
I`d like to dry out but I doubt if I can
My baby said she`d quit me but she didn`t say when
`Cause I`m drinking again

Working two jobs, tryin` to get straight
Don`t need the money, just want to lose weight
Gonna get you all the things that you lack
Diamond ring and a red Cadillac
Came home drunk and pushed you around
Don`t you quit me baby, don`t you put me down

I`ll never do it again
I`ll never do it again
I`ll never do it again
I promise this time

I came home last night about half past four
Whole neighborhood was rocking out on my floor
And my baby was working up under the sheet
With a teenage boy that lives down the street
I grabbed a bottle, he grabbed a gun
I heard somebody holler: "Shoot him `fore he runs"
And that`s the reason why I`m drinking again
Tell everybody I`m drinking again
You can`t lick `em and you just can`t win
Yes, it`s me and I`m drinking again

Ain`t it enough to start you drinking again
We got to live in a world full of sin
Thank you Jesus for what you have done
I`m sick and tired tryin` to be number one
Change my suit, change my shirt
Change what I dig and get out of the dirt

I`ll never do it again
I`ll never do it again
I`m going to get back in my gin
I`m drinking again
