if they take me back to Texas, they won't take me back alive.

there was thunder from the throne,

and seven Spanish angels took another angel home.

I GOTTA GET DRUNK

'cause I know just what I'm gonna do.

I've spent my whole paycheck on some old wreck,
A
and brother, I can name you a few.
D G
Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it,

2. I gotta get drunk, I can't stay sober,
G D
there's a lot of good people in town,
who'd like to hear me holler, see me spend my dollars,
E A
and I wouldn't think of lettin' 'em down.
G
There's a lot of doctors that tell me,
D A
that I'd better start to slowin' it down.
D G

so I guess we'd better have another round.
