Soberin Up
“I’m soberin’ up…”
“Not yet, not yet!”
“Why not?”
Yes, I’m a-soberin’ up. I’m a-straigtenin’ out
I’m a-gonna be a good boy now
Yes, I’m done with drinkin’ and carryin’ on
I’m gonna wake up early and work all day long
And then I’m gonna buy a nice house with a big front lawn
It’s gonna be the good life for me from now on
‘Cause I’m a-soberin’ up. I’m a-straigtenin’ out
I’m a-gonna be a good boy now
I’m gonna buy myself a brand new suit
With a nice silk tie with Italian shoes
And then I’ll drink the best coffee
With the sweetest cream
I’m gonna ride all around town in an SUV
Then I’m gonna buy a nice jet plane
And park it on an island in the Meditterain
And then I’ll run for office. I’ll have the best campaign
I’m gonna be your president as soon as I get clean
‘Cause I’m a-soberin’ up. I’m a-straigtenin’ out
I’m a-gonna be a good boy now
Yes, I’m done with drinkin’ and carryin’ on
I’m gonna wake up early and work all day long
Yes, I’m a-toeing the line. I’m a-walking tall
I’m a-through bars and this alcohol
I’m a-soberin’ up. I’m a-straigtenin’ out
I’m a-gonna be a good boy now
Yes, I’m a whole new man as soon as I leave this bar
If I can just get home without wrecking my car
