D-R-U-N-K Songtext

von David Allan Coe

How do you spell relief?
I get D-R-U-N-K
Lately Dave since my baby left me
I do it almost every day
It's the only thing that I've found
That'll take the hurt away

Well how do you spell relief John?

I get D-R-U-N-K
Every night about sundown I get a pain down deep inside
This old broken heart acts up
There's a hurtin' in my pride
Well I've found a sure fire treatment
That'll get me feelin' right
When your memory starts flarin' up
I just head for the neon lights

How do you spell relief David?

I get D-R-U-N-K
Lately since my baby left
I do it almost every day
It's the only thing that I've found John
That'll take the hurt away

Well how do you spell relief?

I just get D-R-U-N-K

John Hartford

I don't need no doctor
Tell me what is wrong
I can fill my own perscriptions
And it lasts me all night long
It's the perfect medication
For an ailment such as mine
I forget about the tears I've cried
When the whiskey hits my mind

How do we spell relief?
We get D-R-U-N-K
Lately since my baby left me
I do it almost every day
Well I tell ya Johnny
Its the only thing I've found
That'll take the pain away

How do we spell relief?
We get D-R-U-N-K

How do we spell relief?
We get D-R-U-N-K

How do we spell relief?
We get D-R-U-N-K

We're havin' fun now ain't we?
