The Town Drunk

Bill Owens

© Combine Music, BMI

(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 he's the town drunk...

Yeah that's right the bright lights that glittered
Led me here to this gutter
(Now he's the town drunk)
