Standard (EADGBE)

A little drunk is better than dead

When they’re strapping you down inside your own head

So you hang out with the man on the moon

But why does the morning have to come too soon?

When you get stuck down deep in bad traffic

All your radio is picking up is cheap static

So you reach beneath your front seat

For the taste of something sweet

::Chorus::

Well, just remember what the drowning man said

A little drunk is better than dead

Before you put the gun to your head

Remember what the drowning man said

A little drunk, A little drunk is better than dead

::Verse #2::

A little drunk is better than dead

When you’re tripping down the path that you were led

When your ass has been slapped by too many doors

And you think of all the good things you can’t afford

You can’t find a good woman can’t find a good job

You look in the mirror and all you see is a slob

You just can’t swallow all the shit you’ve been fed

Been punched in the eye so much you only see red

::Chorus::

But before you put that gun to your head

A little drunk is better than dead

Remember what the drowning man said

Before you put the gun to your head

A little drunk, A little drunk is better than dead

::Instrumental Solo::

::Verse #3::

A little lost is better than found

When you always find your hopes just smashed on the ground

But someone’s always there to lend you a hand

But too late you’re already neck deep in quick sand

And you’re sprawled out on some floor

Some one call for help "Is he alive? We’re not sure"

Everybody’s screaming, everyone’s in a panic

But you, your face is peaceful like it’s plastic

And as they roll him away on the stretcher

We knew that he’d be drunk forever

I guess a little drunk is better

::Chorus::

Before you put the gun to your head

Remember what the drowning man said

A little drunk, A little drunk is better than dead

A little drunk, A little drunk is better than dead
