Текст песни When I Get to Drinkin' (Live from Los Angeles) - Brandy Clark

I have a whole lot of records, I wanna make ′em
And I've always
One of them that I wanna make is this drinking song record
I mean, not that I don′t have drinking songs all over my first two records
You know one that is just dedicated to alcoholism
You know I mean the world needs more of that
So this is one I've never played this song before live
It's not necessarily a new song, but it will be new into you

It always starts out in a little bit o′ fun
It always starts out that I′m stoppin' at one
But one leads to another, numb leads to number
Before you know it, I′m a whole lot of gone
I wake up in the mornin', hurt like hell
And if it was a good time, I can′t tell
Just like a fool, I keep foolin' myself
Say I won′t, no, I won't, no, I won't

But I tend to get sad when sun gets to sinkin′
I tend to get lonely when I get to thinkin′
So I tend to get drunk when I get to drinkin'

I′m A-okay all day long
'Cause I know what you do when the lights are on
And the moon comes out and it all goes south
My imagination starts runnin′ wild
Somethin' in the dark always gets to me
′Cause somewhere in the dark you're forgettin' me
I can′t forget you, but I do know this too
Whoa, whoa, whoa

But I tend to get sad when the sun gets to sinkin′
I tend to get lonely when I get to thinkin'
So I tend to get drunk when I get to drinkin′

So, tonight, this is it
Yeah, tomorrow I quit
But I won't, no, I won′t, no, I won't

′Cause I tend to get sad when sun gets to sinkin'
I tend to get lonely when I get to thinkin'
So I tend to get drunk

Boy, I tend to get sad when Jones gets to singin′
I tend to get lonely, lonely, lonely when the phone isn′t ringin'
So I tend to get drunk when I get to drinkin′
