Town Drunk Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

(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... 

Yeah that's right the bright lights that glitter led me here to this gutter 

(Now he's the town drunk)
