All Drunked Up

It's another Friday night and I'm drinking again
Since you left me baby Pearl's my new girlfriend
Cause when I'm drinking I can convince myself
That everything's OK
That you'll come crawling back to me
Before it's way too late

Chorus:
When I'm all drunked up I'm happy
When I'm sober I think about you
Maybe if I drink all the beers in South Carolina
I'll lose these lost river girl blues

I haven't seen hide nor hair of you for two long weeks
Somebody said they heard you moved to Myrtle Beach
So I sit here drinking hard and feeling bad
At Johnny's Red Door Lounge
Counting the cars that pass by the window
On their way out of town

Chorus:
When I'm all drunked up I'm happy
When I'm sober I think about you
Maybe if I drink all the beers in South Carolina
I'll lose these lost river girl blues

The other night I was drinking with a friend who's underage
When the police busted in and carried us both away
When we got to the jail the policeman told me
Even losers get one call
I said haven't you heard the girl I love
Won't talk to me at all

Chorus:
When I'm all drunked up I'm happy
But when I'm sober I think about you
Maybe if I drink all the beers in South Carolina
I'll lose these lost river girl blues

When I'm all drunked up I'm happy
But when I'm sober I think about you
Maybe if I drink all the beers in South Carolina
I'll lose these lost river girl blues
Maybe if I drink all the beers in South Carolina
I'll lose these gone river girl blues
