lyrics

All my life, I’ve been drinkin’ the rent
Every dollar, every single cent
There is no tellin’ how much that I’ve spent
Forgetting you and just drinkin’ the rent

Now here I go again
Drinking what should have been
My rent money, no it ain’t funny
I’m drinkin’
I’m drinkin’
Yeah here I go again
Thinking about what could have been
My little honey, drank up all my money
I’m drinkin’
Drinkin’ the rent

Piss drunk and still full of debt
Empty bottles, fill ’em with regret
First of the month, never fret
‘cause you know, I’ll be drinkin’ the rent

DRINKIN' THE RENT

Landlord says, “Get your shit and split”
You’re good for nothing, when you’re drinkin’ the rent
Hit the bricks, but don’t get very far
The liquor store or the nearest bar

Now here I go again
Drinking what should have been
My rent money, no it ain’t funny
I’m drinkin’
I’m drinkin’
Yeah here I go again
Thinking about what could have been
My little honey, drank up all my money
I’m drinkin’
Drinkin’ the rent
