Well I never was too cool, and I have always been a fool
Never even finished school, and lost a lot of money shootin' pool
So I really have no station, or any moral obligation
Except to my relations, in all of God's creation

And I thought I'd hit the bottom when I hit the bottle full throttle
But little did I know that there was still a ways to go
When I jumped into my four door made a beeline for the border
Tipped the customs man a quarter; just had to go down to Tijauno

CHORUS
Where I got a little too much dronkey,
I wound up dancin' with the donkey
In some fonky honky tonky..Down in Mexico...
Yeah, I got a little too much dronkey
I wound up dancin' with the donkey
In some fonky honky tonky in Tijauno Mexico

Take a lesson from my folly, and if you get to feelin' jolly
Find yourself some pretty dolly up in Salem or down in Raleigh
And for sure don't be like me and cast yourself into the sea
That old booze won't set you free, you'll be a fool for all to see

But if you get to feelin' worse, like someone has got you cursed
Reconsider first about what you use to quench your thirst
'Cause if you turn to liquor you will find out even quicker
Than your eye could even flicker just how down low can really go

CHORUS
And I got...

SOLO

CHORUS
