lyrics

i buy her a drink

and i cheers to our health

but she’s scouting out the bar looking for someone else

ohhh.. another night i lend a hand to myself

and then she laughs with me

or does she laugh at me



still gotta few hours left ‘til last call

so i order up another drink

to get the courage to take another fall

now i’ve got big beer muscles now

and oh i’m tequila tall



chorus

and here i am again

passed out on the floor again

and i better stay down

here on this sacred ground

and by know you outta know

i’ve gotta friend called the danimal



well i use to hit the bar right next store

but now a days, i’m not welcome there anymore

they called me a drunk, i guess i’d been there before

but i had the last laugh when they cut my tab in half



happy hour’s over but i stay and i drink alone

i stay ‘cause i’m happier here then i’ve ever been at home

sometimes when its busy i’ll even answer the phone

like a t shirt away from staff



full chorus

and here i am again

passed out on the floor again

and i better stay down

here on this sacred ground

the smell is so familiar hear

cigarette butts and shitty beer

still i choose to stay down

here on my sacred ground

and by know you outta know

i’ve gotta friend called the danimal



sometimes on sundays i go and hide out in northeast

w/ just a little blackberry just to tame the wild beast

maybe a little more just to help me get some sleep

‘cause barkeep i need my sleep



well i know i’ve been this drunk before

but i can’t remember when

it must have been that time i said i’d never drink again

but when i get drunk, i write love songs for angry men

and i’m just trying to make you all laugh

with the only thing left i still have



chorus
