Lyrics
Just One
My girl is mad at me
Guess she has a right to be
I promised not to drink
I didn't think that she would see
I had a little taste of whiskey
That might have been a little risky
She said, "So long sucker!"
And walked out on me
I try to do things right
But it always turns out wrong
There's one thing I could do
To prove I love her
I started thinking
I should stop this drinking
So tonight I'll have just one
After another
My boss is mad at me
He said I lack maturity
He gave me my last check
Then he called security
I hope he didn't mind
When I showed him my behind
Take this job and shove it
If you please
I try to do things right
But something's always wrong
I run full speed ahead
When I should run for cover
I started thinking
I should stop this drinking
So tonight I'll have just one
After another
Break
I don't understand
I need another plan
Lord, have mercy on me
I try to do things right
But it always goes so wrong
This time I don't know
If I'll recover
I started thinking
I should stop this drinking
So tonight I'll have just one
Tonight I'll drink just one
Bartender pour just one
After another
After another
