Pemberton Roach - I Became A Drunk Lyrics

I've always liked a drink
On Friday with my friends
Make a toast and raise a glass
To the working man's weekend
But I just got your letter
Telling me that you can't stay
I've always liked a drink
But I became a drunk today
We have had our troubles
Back on through the years
But I have always loved you
Through the anger and the tears
I'm a quiet man
Never in for much horseplay
But now I'm breaking chairs
Cause I became a drunk today
I became a drunk today
When I stumble through the bar
People shake their heads and say
It's a damn shame that he ended up that way
Little do they know I just became a drunk today
I try to make a toast
But now I'm all alone
They won't serve me here
So I guess I'll head on home
Got some brandy in the cabinet
And a pistol in the safe
I've always liked a drink
But I became a drunk today
I became a drunk today
When I stumble through the bar
People shake their heads and say
It's a damn shame that he ended up that way
But little do they know I just became a drunk today
I've always liked a drink
But I became a drunk today
