the doctor told me to settle down
stop trickin bad luck into givin you more ground
I said there’s a tougher thing than suicide
drawin lots with the lawyer is like a bullet in my hide
cuz I laugh just a bit too loud
and I smile just a bit too wide
and to keep it bottled up inside
well there ain’t enough booze
there ain’t enough booze in the world
the counselor told me ya gotta let it ride
just give her love and everything’ll be all right
I looked at him and I had to laugh
six years of bad road and now you’re tryin to light my path
cuz I stayed just a bit too long
and I gave just a bit too free
but to make it like it used to be
there ain’t enough booze
ain’t enough booze in the world
ain’t enough booze in this life to imagine
these things to be true
and maybe I could wake in vegas with a weddin ring
but I could never keep a bad love just suffering
no there ain’t enough booze
my buddy told me to come along
got a gig for good bread playin other people’s songs
well I picked up a guitar and I played the part
sang from the gut but I never used my heart
and I laughed just a bit too loud
and I smiled just a bit too wide
but I could not get satisfied-
yeah I laughed just a bit too loud
and I smiled just a bit too wide
but ya couldn’t keep me on that ride
there ain’t enough booze
no there ain’t enough booze in the world
ain’t enough booze in this life to imagine
these things to be true
ain’t enough booze.
