Before I Break Lyrics - No Depression - Uncle Tupelo

On liquor I spent my last dime 

Sunday mornin', eight a.m. 

Just cursin' myself again 

Drinkin' like each one might be my last 

Blurred memories of makin' toasts 

To the cheapest beer and talk show hosts 

Funny then but that's fadin' fast 

Here's to wakin' up at night 

Half drunk in a ditch by the side of the road 

You're still thinkin' that you can't go on like this 

Headed for a break down 

You keep sayin' thanks for tomorrow, 'cause I can't live 

Thanks for tomorrow, 'cause I've had enough 

Well, it'd do me just fine to make it through the night 

On liquor I spent my last dime 

A worried man drinks a healthy drink 

But he drinks nine or ten 

Until he's done 

Then he'll tell you his life story 

But he won't stop until 

He's told to you and everyone 

Well here's to wakin' up at night 

Half drunk in a ditch by the side of the road 

You're still thinkin' that you can't go on like this 

Before I break down 

You keep sayin' thanks for tomorrow, 'cause I can't live 

Thanks for tomorrow, 'cause I've had enough 

Well, it'd do me just fine to make it through the night 

On liquor I spent my last dime 

Blurred memories of makin' toasts 

To the cheapest beer and talk show hosts 

Funny then, but that's fadin' fast 

Here's to wakin' up at night 

Half drunk in a ditch by the side of the road 

You're still thinkin' that you can't go on like this 

Before I break down 

You keep sayin' thanks for tomorrow, 'cause I can't live 

Thanks for tomorrow, 'cause I've had enough 

Well, it'd do me just fine to make it through the night 

On liquor I spent my last dime
