The Fourth Night Of My Drinking Lyrics - Big To-do - Drive By Truckers

On the first night of my drinking I was looking for my keys 

I was half-blind and stinking and bloody at the knees 

I had a built-in-fever and bright red cheeks 

My checks and balances up shit creek 

It was all in fun--I didn't hurt no one 

Until I crawled back for more 

Then there was damage done, but I made it home 

And woke up on the floor 

On the second night of my drinking i was looking for my car 

And as luck would have it, I found it parked outside my favorite bar 

I had a leather liver and lipstick streaks 

I had a disposition of valleys and peaks 

It was a lot of fun until I shot my gun 

And the neighbors called the law 

They didn't take me in, but they let it sink in 

That i was headed for a fall, headed for a fall 

On the third night of my drinking I was yelling at your house 

I had a stick in my hand and was convinced 

Some man was in there hiding out 

I had a foot on your door; you had me down on the floor 

I woke up next morning and my jaw was sore 

Then I was back at the bar and I was wanting some more 

Then I was back at the bar and I was wanting some more 

Then I was back at the bar and I was wanting some more 

Until they tried to cut me off 

On the fourth night of my drinking I had to go it all alone 

As my friend's list was shrinking and I was sinking like a stone 

I had a steely eye; I had a mouth full of grit; my disposition had gone full tilt 

There was a taste in my mouth; I wasn't liking it 

Guess it will be through with me before I'm through with it 

Guess it will be through with me before I'm through with it 

Guess it will be through with me before I'm through with it
