    Lyrics
    Hey mister, where you headed?
    Are you in a hurry?
    I need a lift to happy hour
    Say oh no
    Do you brake for distilled spirits?
    I need a break as well
    The well that inebriates the guilt. 1,2. 1,2,3,4.

    Cold turkeys getting stale, tonight I'm eating crow
    Fermented salmonella poison oak no.

    There's a drought at the fountain of youth, and now I'm dehydrating
    My tongue is swelling up, as say 1,2. 1,2,3,4.
    Troubled times, you know I can not lie
    I'm off the wagon and I'm hitchin' a ride

    There's a drought at the fountain of youth, and now I'm dehydrating
    My tongue is swelling up, I say Shit!
