Big Ugly Dog - Tonight I'm Drinking Lyrics

It's getting tougher every week
Just to stagger to the finish line
It seems the harder that I work
A little further I fall behind
I've had 120 hours of stone cold sobriety
But when the whistle blows at five
I'm gonna find myself a little peace

Tonight I'm drinking
Tonight I'm drinking
I'm going to head down to the Tavern
And hang out with all my rowdy friends
Tonight I'm drinking
Tonight I'm drinking
I'll just forget about the day
I'm going to chase these blues away tonight

Well the preachers and the teachers
Sing the praises of a temperate life
And when I finally stumble home
I'm sure to get a lecture from my wife
So order up another round and we'll drink a toast to moderation
Then set the bottle on the bar
Cause I'm settled in for the duration

Tonight I'm drinking
Tonight I'm drinking
I'm going to head down to the Tavern
And hang out with all my rowdy friends
Tonight I'm drinking
Tonight I'm drinking
I'll just forget about the day
I'm going to chase these blues away tonight

I know that tomorrow
I'll be feeling pretty rough
Once I get started too much
Is never quite enough

Tonight I'm drinking
Tonight I'm drinking
I'm going to head down to the Tavern
And hang out with all my rowdy friends
Tonight I'm drinking
Tonight I'm drinking
