I'm going to the store To get myself some beer And if they canned up sanity Would they sell it here? I'd buy myself a truckload And drink away the night Maybe then my baby You and me would be all right Cos you load me down You load me down You load me down with my regrets I'm like a ship about to sink I'm just drinking to forget And I don't forget to drink I don't forget to drink it down You load me down Thinking how it used to be To be alone with you Telling any lies we could To steal an hour or two It ain't like that now, babe We're together and you're mine With a silent rhetoric We wish away our time. You load me down You load me down You load me down with my regrets I'm like a ship about to sink I'm just drinking to forget And I don't forget to drink I don't forget to drink it down You load me down
