Well I did myself some thinkin'
And I gave up all the drinkin',
And threw my cigarettes in the trash,
Thought I'd live a little longer prob'ly get a little stronger,
Even save myself a little cash,
Now my friends they started snorin',
I guess I'm getting' borin',
My girl-friends keep walkin' out on me,
There' s this voice keeps on naggin' -get off the wagon,
Get back how you used to be!
[chorus] Get off the wagon!
You're young boy, you ain't getting' old,
Get off the wagon and stop doin' what you're told.
If the truth be told, I was a lively little soul,
Even socialisin' without the aid of booze,
But when it carne to meetin' women,
My head would start a-spinnin',
And l' d wind up starin' at my shoes,
So let the angels kiss my a**,
L' m gonna lift up my gla**,
And welcome my good ol' self back,
If you give me enough rope,
Im gonna wind up smokin' dope,
Droppin' acid, snortin' coke and smokin' crack!
[chorus]
As I lift up my flask I can hear y' all ash,
Ain't ya worried 'bout the damage boozin' does?
When my liver starts complainin'
And my heart it starts a-strainin',
I'll find myself some gas that I can buzz!
Guess I'll turn over a page when I reach my old age,
Provided I actually get there,
I'll get on the wagon when my chest starts a-saggin',
And I lose all my teeth and my hair!
[chorus x2]
