I Don't Drink Too Much

Lyrics

I Don’t Drink Too Much © 2005 Martha Ann Brooks Don’t you hate it When people get in your face They act like its their job to police the human race They say I’m havin way too many beers I just look at them and smile Then politely close my ears Chorus: Oh you know I don’t drink too much Only til I get a buzz In the mornin my mouth’s like fuzz But what the Hay it’s another day No No I don’t drink too much Just get a teeny weeny buzz It’s like a little honey bee Takin me away Some people say I’m a certified idiot But I tell them drinking beer’s my hobby it don’t cost too much Just a couple of loved ones, my job and even my car But with my personality I know I will go far At least in this bar Chorus: I look in the mirror the reflection’s getting older each day But I don’t care cause we’re all gonna die anyway Excuse me while I take a little stroll over here All this deep talk and philosophizing Has made me want another beer Chorus: Bridge: I know what tomorrow will bring That honey bee, she’s got quite a sting But lucky for me I have an instant cure A little nip or shot will help for sure Chorus: Tag chorus: It’s like a little honey bee taking me away, away © 2005 Martha Ann Brooks

Description

Short Song Description: Dark side of drinking

Long Song Description: Uptempo song about a person in complete denial of their alcoholism

Story Behind the Song: This is one of those rare songs that popped into my head almost completely written - words and music just showed up. I see this song as an odd juxtaposition of an upbeat melody with some very disturbing lyrics.
