Another new song on the theme of alchoholic beverages...funny how this particular time of year seems to bring out one's dark side...i'll be back to my old self again soon!
The song explores a life spiralling down into alchoholic depression...but don't worry folks, it's not about me! (though maybe one or two good friends i knew...), i hardly touch a drop these days...honest! (-;

Guitar - Punch 2
Boss SE-70

PLAY LOUD!

I'M SO DRUNK...AGAIN


HAD BAD WORDS, SHE STOMPED OFF.
MY HEAD HURTS, JUST HAD ENOUGH.
LOST MY JOB, COULDN'T DO IT ANYWAY,
TOLD MY BOSS, HE COULD STUFF HIS PAY.

...I'M DRUNK...AGAIN
I'M SO..SO DRUNK AGAIN...

MY CAR GOT CRUSHED, THE OTHER DAY,
DAMN THING DROVE LIKE SHIT ANYWAY.
FOLKS THINK I'M STUPID - I HEARD SAY,
DON'T LIKE NOBODY, ANYWAY.

...I'M DRUNK...AGAIN
I'M SO...SO DRUNK AGAIN...

CHORUS - ONE THING I KNOW, THERE'S NOTHING, YOU SEE,
WILL EASE MY SITUATION, LIKE MY GOOD FRIEND WISS-KEE...!

...I'M DRUNK...AGAIN
I'M SO...SO DRUNK AGAIN...

DOC SAYS MY LIVER, IS IN DECAY,
MIGHT DIE SOON - WHEN,HE WOULDN'T SAY.
DON'T GIVE A SHIT, I NEVER ASKED TO BE BORN,
I GOT NO FUTURE, FEEL SO FORLORN.

...I'M DRUNK...AGAIN
I'M SO...SO DRUNK AGAIN...

BROKE MY STRAT, THREW IT AWAY,
DON'T CARE TOO MUCH, COULDN'T PLAY IT ANYWAY.
LYIN' IN THE GUTTER, LOOKIN' AT A TREE,
IT PUNCHED MY FACE! ...STUPID PLACE TO PUT A TREE...

...I'M DRUNK...AGAIN
I'M SO...SO DRUNK...

CHORUS - ONE THING I KNOW, THERE'S NOTHING, YOU SEE,
WILL EASE MY SITUATION, LIKE MY GOOD FRIEND WISS-KEE...

...I'M DRUNK...AGAIN
I'M SO...SO DRUNK AGAIN...

...I'M DRUNK...AGAIN
I'M SO DRUNK....

JUST LET ME SLEEP...

Thanks guys!   it's good to be bad sometimes, though songs are supposed to reflect real life sometimes life hurts, doesn't hurt to dig deep sometimes as long as i feel nobody will be upset by it,  i admit this came a little too close to home (maybe for one or two of my good CBN friends too), though i never got as low as the guy in the song myself i know one or two good friends that did.

Writing my submission for the Christmas 2011 CBN Album now, something safe, jolly and predictable! (-;

Steve, I wish I would have said what Wes said.  Those blues do not get any more low down good.

Really good song Steve and very well performed too. You certainly have found a dark place with that song.
Comment by Uncle John on October 29, 2011 at 3:45pm
That's a damn good destructive life blues song, Steve.  I like it, but songs this one, I feel em and they drag my ass down.   Good song, but I think your performance is even better.  Sounds real.
