These days I can’t help thinking
Why O why did you have to quit drinking?
These days I can’t help thinking
Why O why did you have to quit drinking?
The world was doing okay
Till you put that Jack Daniels away
Now it looks like we’re all sunk
All because you won’t get drunk
Since the day that you got sober
We’ve all had to run for cover
Back in your party-boy time
Everybody was feeling fine
These days I can’t help thinking
Why O why did you have to quit drinking?
These days I can’t help thinking
Why O why did you have to quit drinking?
Since the day you had enough
A lot of us have had to take it up
Whether we like to admit it or not
There’s some people should never stop
These days I can’t help thinking
Why O why did you have to quit drinking?
These days I can’t help thinking
Why O why did you have to quit drinking?
If you’d open that bottle of wine
That would really be party time
So don’t be yellow, don’t be chicken
Help us out and quit your quittin’
These days I can’t help thinking
Why O why did you have to quit drinking?
These days I can’t help thinking
Why O why did you have to quit drinking
Why O why did you have to quit drinking?
Sorta speaks for itself. Blame Dylan for the yellow/chicken reference (context appropriate use of Texas slang). The party boy reference can be seen here.
