"Laplegged Drunk Again" lyrics - BRUCE COCKBURN

I've been drinking all night long, start again today
I've been drinking all night long, start again today
Been trying my best to drink these weary blues away

Some people drink to hide their troubles, but that don't mean a thing
Some people drink to hide their troubles, but that don't mean a thing
When your troubles are all gone, and you find yourself drunk again

Friends, I drink to keep from worrying, smile just to keep from crying
I drink to keep from worrying, smile just to keep from crying
I has quite hide my troubles, so the public don't know what's on my mind

[Instrumental break]

I said I was through with love, both whiskey, wine and gin
You know I was through with love, both whiskey, wine and gin
When I found myself, I was lap-legged drunk again

Love will make a many man drink and gamble, stay out all night long
Love will make a many man drink and gamble, stay out all night long
Love will take you into many places, sometimes where you don't belong
