Underpaid and overdrunk

When will this misery end

Whiskey diets on six-pack checks

And I’m in the hole again

And the hole reeks of a failure

I have learned to stand the smell

A tall stiff drink goes pretty far

In making heaven out of hell

 

Underpaid and overdrunk

I sit here and I think

How much overtime can it take

To purchase just one last drink

My job is like a punishment

For a crime that I don’t know

I like booze to fill my glass

So I will do as I am told

 

Don’t get me started

Cause I sure can go on

Sobbing my story until dawn

Each passing moment

A little less clearly

Til I’m sleeping on the lawn

 

Underpaid and overdrunk

Beneath the overpass

I’m sleeping off my ecstasy

Amongst the cans and broken glass

As cars roar by I wonder how

I’m gone pay my monthly rent

My money’s short

My drinks are long

I’m just overdrunk again
