Modern Drunkard Lyrics

The city lights lead the way to paradise tonight

they're all there waiting for me on a ship as big as life

so tell me why it ain't right

it's the one true thing that keeps me high



It'll kill you

just get tougher

no one said it was easy

being a drunkard



the ice cold beer tastes nice, I got whiskey in the van

just want to have a little bit of fun while I'm young and I still can

just zip your lip, listen close

it's my life and it's my choice



It'll kill you

just get tougher

no one said it was easy

being a drunkard



I sit and stare at the neon

I got my buddies to lean on

We'll drink to your bad health

some folks can't take it

I ain't one, ain't that right

we'll need it if only for tonight



So open up and knock one down,

let's all get drunk and tear up the town.

It'll kill you,

just get tougher.

No one said it was easy

being a drunkard
