i got a steady job but i'm living a lie
i'm a drunken slob i've got a d.u.i
sobriety, sobriety

when i was 17 i had my first drink

now i'm 43 and i'm seeing a shrink
sobriety, sobriety

mom i'm living at the chandler lodge
somebody wants to sell me the dodge
it's another gift of sobriety

it took a fifth of vodka just to put me to sleep
now you take away the liquor and your left with a creep
sobriety, sobriety

you've got a lot of nerve to tell me things are ok
if you want to keep it gotta give it away
sobriety, sobriety

mom i'm living at the chandler lodge
somebody wants to sell me the dodge
it's another gift of sobriety

everybody knows
the emperor's got new clothes
i'm gonna make the story sad
but it's the best friend i ever had
i know it's gonna kick my ass
so go ahead and pour another glass

sobriety
sobriety

mom they threw me out the chandler lodge
so now i'm sleeping in my dodge
it's another gift of sobriety

mom they threw me out the chandler lodge
so now i'm sleeping in my dodge
it's another gift of sobriety
