lyrics

hey mister, where you headed? are you in a hurry?
i need a lift to happy hour say oh no
do you brake for distilled spirits? i need a break as well
the well that inebriates the guilt
1, 2,  1, 2, 3, 4
cold turkey's getting stale, tonight i'm eating crow
fermented salmonella poison oak no
there's a drought at the fountain of youth, and now i'm dehydrating
my tongue is swelling up, as say 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4
troubled times, you know i can not lie
i'm off the wagon and i'm hitchin' a ride
there's a drought at the fountain of youth, and now i'm dehydrating
my tongue is swelling up, i say ***
