As He Could Be

He's just a drunk That's all they can say Born with a bottle in his hand anyway Well, you can't always believe everything you see 'Cause he ain't as drunk as he could be If you're asking me, he's doing just fine Considering his only son just damn died And I don't know how I'd do it if that was me But he ain't as drunk as he could be He could be taking his liquor with a handful of pills Getting involved with some no-good drug deals And wrap his 2-50 right around a tree He ain't as drunk as he could be She's let him down for the fifteenth damn time Her and other men weigh heavy on his mind But he don't have the will to just set her free He ain't as drunk as he could be He could be taking his liquor with a handful of pills Getting involved with some no-good drug deals And wrap his 2-50 right around a tree He ain't as drunk as he could be He takes the pain different than the rest Well, he can't find the words to talk it right off his chest And he don't give a damn, they say he's losing his mind He just lives life one drink at a time Maybe one day, they'll have to see He ain't as drunk as he could be He could be taking his liquor with a handful of pills Getting involved with some no-good drug deals And wrap his 2-50 right around a tree He ain't as drunk as he could be, he could be
