Dry - Corey Smith

I didn’t stay out late last night

So nothing’s hanging over me today

And I’m ashamed to say but it’s been a long, long time

Since I woke up in this good a shape

I’ve got no hammer against my head

And my recollection’s fine

I’ve got no need for rehydration

'Cause I didn’t go drinkin' myself dry

Drinkin' myself dry

Burnin' my belly full of holes

The more liquor I pour in the well

The more it drains everything else

Till liquor’s all I’m a-thirsty for

I wind up sleepin' in my boots

Wakin' up on the floor

Tellin' myself that it’s alright

Just had a little too much last night

I’ve been drinkin' myself dry

Some days I wake up fightin' mad

I feel like whoopin' my own tail

I stare in the mirror, I wanna put my fist right through

'Cause I can’t stand lookin' at myself

But this mornin' I’m feelin' quite well

Here with my children and my wife

I’ve got everything a man could hope for

Why I gotta go drinkin' myself dry?

Drinkin' myself dry

Burnin' my heart full of holes

The more liquor I pour in the well

The more it drains everything else

Till liquor’s all I’m a-thirsty for

She’s been tellin' me for years

You can’t live like this for long

But I couldn’t see that she was right

'Cause I had dust all in my eyes

I was drinkin' myself dry

But I think I’ve finally seen the light

I wiped the dust out of myself

I think I’ve drank myself dry
