Boozehound Lyrics - Singles - Harry Connick, Jr.

I used to be a boozehound 

Spent my time downtown 

Gettin round 

Sittin in the barroom 

Tryin to get another drink 

"i think you've had enough" 

"come on... just one more" 

This time I ain't feelin so fine 

Whatcha say we get to downin 

Don't throw me just forget about the line 

I wish I could be drownin 

Sweet water... I ain't seen her in a while 

I don't know if I can face her 

I know she can always make me smile 

If I can't outrun my chaser 

I used to be a boozehound 

Buzzin round midtown 

Gettin loaded 

Tryin to get a number 

Feelin mighty good 

"is this guy bothering you? " 

"no, no, I was just..." 

All my life there ain't never been a drought 

That's probably been my downfall 

Even though, you know, 

I might be passed out 

I won't drop the high ball 

I know where the river flows 

And the lives that it devours 

Ain't it great I can touch my nose 

But I can't smell the flowers 

I used to be a boozehound 

Stumblin uptown 

Gettin higher 

Fallin off the barstool 

Rememberin where I left the floor 

"say buddy, you need some help" 

"no, I'm cool..." 

Come and get me you can be my boogeyman 

You can catch me on the rebound 

You may not fly like the candyman can 

But it's safer on the ground 

Just one more trip to the fun house 

They'll smother me with foam 

See, my brother, that's the one house 

That I can call my home
