Nobody Minds If I Don’t Drink

 


Laying around here letting my body mend

I felt the rage of another good friend

He took a life before he finally struck

Didn’t take long to sober me up

No it didn’t take long to sober me up

 

I wondered if I’d get fired or not

Wasn’t the first time that we fought

He gave me a sad song a smile and a wink

He said I wouldn’t mind if you didn’t drink

I wouldn’t mind if you didn’t drink

 

Nobody minds when I don’t drink

That’s not the way this old body thinks

When I get good and drunk my attitude stinks

Nobody minds when I don’t drink

Nobody minds when I don’t drink

 

So now my reputation’s not good

So many reasons to quit and I know I should

This situation’s not easy at all

Wherever I run there’s always a wall

Wherever I run there’s always a wall

 

Nobody minds when I don’t drink

That’s not the way this old body thinks

When I get good and drunk my attitude stinks

Nobody minds when I don’t drink

Nobody minds when I don’t drink

 

I lost my job my friends and my wife

Thought long and hard about taking my life

There’s always been someone to keep me on track

Now I’m alone, they all turned their backs

Now I’m alone, they all turned their backs

 

Nobody minds when I don’t drink

That’s not the way this old body thinks

When I get good and drunk my attitude stinks

Nobody minds when I don’t drink

Nobody minds when I don’t drink

 

Nobody minds when I don’t drink

That’s not the way this old body thinks

When I get good and drunk my attitude stinks

Nobody minds when I don’t drink

Nobody minds when I don’t drink

 

Now this song’s almost over and I’m starting to think

Maybe I wouldn’t mind if I didn’t drink
