Drink Up And Be Somebody

(Merle Haggard)



Well, I gotta keep my reputation I gotta keep my pride

Can't let you know you've hurt me I can't let you know I've cried

I gotta make you think I'm happy everywhere I go

I gotta keep my hurt inside me I can't let it show.



I gotta drink up and be somebody, I'll have another round

I can't let my troubles find me I gotta keep your mem'ry down

Can't let you drive me crazy can't let you win

I gotta drink up and be somebody again.

Well, I can't spend my whole life grieving I gotta find myself

I gotta put me back together I gotta find me someone else

I don't make you think I'm happy everywhere I go

I gotta keep my hurt inside me I can't let it show.



I gotta drink up and be somebody, I'll have another round

I can't let my troubles find me I gotta keep your mem'ry down

Can't let you drive me crazy can't let you win

I gotta drink up and be somebody again...
