Town Drunk

(Bill Owens)



(Town drunk, he's the town drunk

He was once a man of means

But just look how low he sunk

The bright lights that glitter led him to the gutter

Now he's the town drunk.)



I know it, I know I'm the town drunk

But once I had a good life

A fine home and a lovin' wife

Why I was respected by the whole community

Then I got to drinkin' real, real bad

I lost everything I ever had

I just couldn't control my drinkin'

And now my drinkin' it controls me.



(Town drunk, he's the town drunk

He was once a man of means

But just look how low he sunk

The bright lights that glitter led him to the gutter

Now he's the town drunk.)



Yeah, that's right the bright lights that glitter

Led me here to this gutter

(Now he's the town drunk...)
