Lyrics
Well, I was cruisin' down the road about 75
When this policeman pulled right up next to me
He said, "Boy, you know you're lucky that you're still alive
'Cause what you're doing is plain to see
Your breath still stinks and I can tell you been drinkin'"
He took me down to jail, that's what started me a-thinkin'
Gonna put a bar in the back of my car
And drive myself to drink
Well, you know ever since I was about ten years old
I've been drinkin' everything I could hold
But the only time I couldn't get enough of gettin' cold
I was cruisin' on down the road
Now my motor's been hummin', baby, I've been thinkin'
There's one more thing to stop my hot rod Lincoln
Gonna put a bar in the back of my car
And drive myself to drink
You know everyone I know been a-runnin' 'round
Tryin' to put their feet back down on the ground
If you'll only put a little ice in my cup
I'm a-gonna move it up, straight on up
Yeah, my mama and my papa said, "You better watch your step
And make sure you don't drink when you drive"
But unless I can slide a couple shooters down my lips
I really don't feel like I'm alive
Yeah, my mind gets hazy and my heart starts sinkin'
Unless I'm allowed to do my fair share of drinkin'
Gotta put a bar in the back of my car
And drive myself to drink
Well, I done told you all about it, I'll tell you one more thing
But I'm only gonna say it this one time
You know what's right for me might not be right for you
You really got to make up your own mind
Now as for me, I gotta get twisted if I wanna stay straight
'Cause I need some alcohol to motivate my V-8
I'm gonna put a bar in the back of my car
And drive myself to drink
Yeah, I'm gonna put a little bar in the back of my car
And drive myself to drink
That's right, I'm gonna put a little bar in the back of my car
And drive myself to drink
