I'm gonna get my drink on, I wanna hear me a sad song
My baby just left home, I didn't treat her right
Right here's where I belong, I'm gonna stay 'til the money's gone
If it takes me all night long, I'm gonna get my drink on

Well, I got some little problems and the only way to solve 'em is the sure-fire way I know
And when the going gets tough, well the tough get going to the little bar down the road

I'm gonna get my drink on, I wanna hear me a sad song
My baby just left home, I didn't treat her right
Right here's where I belong, I'm gonna stay 'til the money's gone
If it takes me all night long, I'm gonna get my drink on

There's a cold bar stool for a hot-headed fool and I'm gonna hop right to it
Or a seat at a table with a jug of black label when a 12-pack won't quite do

I'm gonna get my drink on, I wanna hear me a sad song
My baby just left home, I didn't treat her right
Right here's where I belong, I'm gonna stay 'til the money's gone
If it takes me all night long, I'm gonna get my drink on

Well, Jo the bartender, she's a mighty good friender and she likes my company
When she says "last call for alcohol" that won't apply much to me

I'm gonna get my drink on, I wanna hear me a sad song
My baby just left home, I didn't treat her right
Right here's where I belong, I'm gonna stay 'til the money's gone
If it takes me all night long, I'm gonna get my drink on

If it takes me all night long I'm gonna get my drink on
Drink on, yeah
I'm gonna get my drink on
