Hair standin' up, arms hangin' down
Bloodshot, tired eyes
Tried hard not to wake you up, tippy-toed thru the door
But your darn cat, I tripped on his tail
And I crashed right to the floor
Now here I am, head in the can, mouth is cotton dry
The bathroom's spinnin', I ain't winnin'
I'd have to get better to die
Then you show up disgusted, sayin’, "Look what the cat drug in!
You dirty bum, you filthy scum
Have you been drinkin' again?"
I took the fifth...of whiskey
And the fifth done took me again
How'm I supposed to stay on track when I keep getting' calls from my friends?
I guess I could give you some lame excuse like I fell asleep or got a flat tire
But the fact is I spent the night with ole' Jim B
And honey, I ain't no liar
I took the fifth
Well, 2 PM, workin' hard, need a break from the day
Someone yells, "Let's grab a drink"
And soon we're on our way
At the bar, I shout out, "First round is on me!"
And soon enough I fall off the stool
And my head gets startin' to bleed
Well how're you gonna 'splain that one, the boys all wanted to know
Ah, I'll think of somethin' soon enough
Maybe I hit the stove?
Back at work to close the shift, boss meets me at the door
Says, "You didn't hit the bar, did you?"
I swear I won't lie anymore
I took the fifth...of vodka
And the fifth done took me again
How'm I supposed to stay on track when I keep getting' calls from my friends?
I guess I could give you some lame excuse like I rescued from a burning fire
But the fact is I spent the time with Mr. Smirnoff
And man, I ain't no liar
I took the fifth
Well, another round of questions, another chance for lies
As a baby I was bottle-fed, hah, there's no surprise
If I could just get me some self-control, I'd be a much better man
Cuz although I may drink like a fish, I still must take the stand
And take the fifth...of tequila
And the fifth will take me again
How'm I supposed to stay on track when I keep getting' calls from my friends?
I guess I could give you some lame excuse like I was singing at church with the choir
But the fact is I'll spent the time with Jose C
And man, I ain't no liar
I took the fifth
