Lyrics
I just put in a ten hour day
We poured a slab and put up some hay
I went to the Quickway to buy a can of dip
I was sittin on the hood of the car
When someone passed me a Mason jar
I thought it couldn't hurt to have me just one sip
When I woke up I was in more pain
Than a third class car on an overnight train
I walked into the bedframe and I swore
My mouth felt like someone's feet
Kickin up dust on a gravel street
Mark my words I ain't gonna drink no more
This time for sure
Things went good the rest of that day
I took the bottle and poured it away
'Cept that bit I keep in case someone drops by
Then I got a check but the bills were more
And my ex called to settle the score
Somehow all that talkin made my lips real dry
When I woke up I was in more pain
Than a third class car on an overnight train
I walked into the bedframe and I swore
My mouth felt like someone's feet
Kickin up dust on a gravel street
Mark my words I ain't gonna drink no more
This time for sure
I was thinkin bout the things I quit
Tellin myself I can do this
When a pretty girl sat down on the hood of that sweet car
I told her I quit a dead end job
Meat for Lent and runnin from love
She wrinkled her nose and said quitters never win
(sigh)
When I woke up I was in more pain
Than a third class car on an overnight train
I walked into the bedframe and I swore
My mouth felt like someone's feet
Kickin up dust on a gravel street
Mark my words I ain't gonna drink no more
I ain't rode no meaner bull
Than that one named Alcohol
Mark my words I ain't gonna drink no more
This time for sure
This time for sure
This time for sure
This time for sure
