Take me back baby, raise me to your hand
Some day honey I'll become a lucky man
I keep on drinkin', tryin' to drive my blues away
Well that sun gonna shine in my backdoor someday
You can call me crazy, but I ain't nobody's fool
While I stand your doggin' I kick just like a mule
And I keep on drinkin', tryin' to drive my blues away
Well that sun gonna shine in my backdoor someday
Woman I love she done gone back home
Every time she leave me she make my blood run warm
And I keep on drinkin', tryin' to drive my blues away
Well that sun gonna shine in my backdoor someday
I wouldn't drink no whiskey but I cannot help myself
Wouldn't be lovin' you mama if I could love someone else
So I keep on drinkin', tryin' to drive my blues away
Well that sun gonna shine in my backdoor someday
Blues ain't nothin' but a good man feelin' bad
Thinkin' about the good times that he once has had
And I keep on drinkin', tryin' to drive my blues away
Well that sun gonna shine in my backdoor someday
I ain't gonna tell nobody that I ain't gonna drink no more
I don't feel welcome no place I go
So I keep on drinkin', tryin' to drive my blues away
Well that sun gonna shine in my backdoor someday
PART II
Too bad mama that we can't get along
When I think I'm doin' right I'm doin' wrong
I keep on drinkin', tryin' to drive my blues away
Well that sun gonna shine in my backdoor someday
You talkin' about your troubles but I'll bet you I've had mine
That's why you see me drinkin' all the time
I keep on drinkin', tryin' to drive my blues away
Well that sun
