lyrics

I will support you when I’m sober
Yes an’ I will be gone whenever I’m drunk
So until the time comes and I fall over
I’ll be sippin’ on my whiskey from the trunk

An’ I lost the keys to your apartment
Yes an’ I forgot my phone at the bar
But still I am here and I’m wondering
If you’ll drive me back to Logan in your car

Well she drove me home, she cried
She said it was over
I leaned in for a kiss and I caught her ear
She said, I’m sorry my dear
It’s time to get sober
And when you do, don’t you worry I’ll be here

An’ I will support you when I’m older
Yes an’ I will be out while I’m young
So until the time comes and I get sober
I’ll be sippin’, writing, and singing in the sun

Well she drove me home, she cried
She said it was over
I leaned in for a kiss and I caught her ear
She said I’m sorry my dear
It’s time to get sober
And when you do, don’t you worry I’ll be here

An’ I will support you when I’m sober
Yes an’ I will be gone whenever I’m drunk
So until the time comes and I fall over
I’ll be sippin’ on my whiskey from the trunk
I’ll be sippin’ on my whiskey from the trunk
