Boozehound — текст песни (Harry Connick, Jr.)

I used to be a boozehound

Spent my time downtown

Gettin round

Sittin in the barroom

Tryin to get another drink

"i think youve had enough"

"come on... just one more"

This time I aint feelin so fine

Whatcha say we get to downin

Dont throw me just forget about the line

I wish I could be drownin

Sweet water... I aint seen her in a while

I dont know if I can face her

I know she can always make me smile

If I cant outrun my chaser

I used to be a boozehound

Buzzin round midtown

Gettin loaded

Tryin to get a number

Feelin mighty good

"is this guy bothering you? "

"no, no, I was just..."

All my life there aint never been a drought

Thats probably been my downfall

Even though, you know,

I might be passed out

I wont drop the high ball

I know where the river flows

And the lives that it devours

Aint it great I can touch my nose

But I cant smell the flowers

I used to be a boozehound

Stumblin uptown

Gettin higher

Fallin off the barstool

Rememberin where I left the floor

"say buddy, you need some help"

"no, Im cool..."

Come and get me you can be my boogeyman

You can catch me on the rebound

You may not fly like the candyman can

But its safer on the ground

Just one more trip to the fun house

Theyll smother me with foam

See, my brother, thats the one house

That I can call my home
