lyrics

Why I oughta drink more water
I ain't had near as much as I should
Bartender don't you think
You could put a little water in my drink
'Cause the whiskey makes the water taste so good

Last night, I got in at 4am
And tonight, I'll be going out again
I've been sleeping like a log
Waking up in a fog
I'm gonna take some good advice from a friend

She said I oughta drink more water
I ain't had near as much as I should
Bartender don't you think
You could put a little water in my drink
'Cause the whiskey makes the water taste so good

Here of late I've been blackin' out
Asked the doc, "What could that all be about?"
He told me I'm a fool
As he turned on his barstool
Spoke out of the corner of his mouth

He said I oughta drink more water
I ain't had near as much as I should
Bartender don't you think
You could put a little water in my drink
'Cause the whiskey makes the water taste so good

Now the moral of the story is I need help
'Cause down at the bar I'm not allowed to help myself
I've got a thirst I need to quench, y'all
And hydration is essential
Fill my glass, let's raise a toast to my health

Yeah, I oughta drink more water
I ain't had near as much as I should
Bartender don't you think
You could put a little water in my drink
'Cause the whiskey makes the water taste so good
