i got a steady job but i`m living a lie
i`m a drunken slob i`ve got a d.u.i
sobriety, sobriety
when i was 17 i had my first drink
now i`m 43 and i`m seeing a shrink
sobriety, sobriety
mom i`m living at the chandler lodge
somebody wants to sell me the dodge
it`s another gift of sobriety
it took a fifth of vodka just to put me to sleep
now you take away the liquor and your left with a creep
sobriety, sobriety
you`ve got a lot of nerve to tell me things are ok
if you want to keep it gotta give it away
sobriety, sobriety
mom i`m living at the chandler lodge
somebody wants to sell me the dodge
it`s another gift of sobriety
everybody knows
the emperor`s got new clothes
i`m gonna make the story sad
but it`s the best friend i ever had
i know it`s gonna kick my ass
so go ahead and pour another glass
sobriety
sobriety
mom they threw me out the chandler lodge
so now i`m sleeping in my dodge
it`s another gift of sobriety
mom they threw me out the chandler lodge
so now i`m sleeping in my dodge
it`s another gift of sobriety
