Well if I could I would Stay drunk all the time But then again I'd never, I'd never get to know This sober heart of mine All of my friends would be shadows Leave me alone at closing time My tab would be real high, and I would feel real low When they turn on all the lights If drunken words were sober thoughts Well I'd tell you what's on my mind Purge the pride and the pain That I drown in when I'm dry Speakin' cursive with a slur Speakin' curses is a crime To a sober man with a badge in his hand Reading me my rights Oh now just because I can That don't mean I should Forever lasts forever, if I never get to know This sober heart of mine Oh but if I could I would Stay drunk all the time I guess I'll never ever get to know This sober heart of mine I guess I'll never ever get to know This sober heart of mine
