How Can I Be So Thirsty
John Anderson · Bigger Hands [2009]
Last night I went to town, hit every bar around
A hundred bottles of beer on the wall, Lord I though I could drink 'em all
Jose, Jack and Jim my best drinkin' friends
They poured 'em up and I shot 'em down, Lord I thought I was goin' to drown
How can I be so thirsty this mornin' after all I drank last night?
I was a-sippin' and a-tippin', a-chuggin' and a-luggin'
Huggin' every pretty girl in sight
I woke up with this cotton mouth wrapped 'round my throat so tight
How can I be so thirsty this mornin' after all I drank last night?
Call it a flaw in chemistry, a medical mystery
I fell washed up but I'm so dry can't even make a tear to cry
This ole achin' head, I should have stayed in bed
Now I'm hung over this kitchen sink and I can't get enough to drink
How can I be so thirsty this mornin' after all I drank last night?
I was a-sippin' and a-tippin', chuggin' and a-luggin'
Huggin' every pretty girl in sight
Yeah, I woke up with this cotton mouth wrapped 'round my throat so tight
How can I be so thirsty this mornin' after all I drank last night?
Yeah, I woke up with this cotton mouth wrapped 'round my throat so tight
