As He Could Be Songtext
He's just a drunk
That's all they can say
Born with a bottle in his hand anyway
Well, you can't always believe everything you see
'Cause he ain't as drunk as he could be
If you're asking me, he's doing just fine
Considering his only son just damn died
And I don't know how I'd do it if that was me
But he ain't as drunk as he could be
He could be taking his liquor with a handful of pills
Getting involved with some no-good drug deals
And wrap his 2-50 right around a tree
He ain't as drunk as he could be
She's let him down for the fifteenth damn time
Her and other men weigh heavy on his mind
But he don't have the will to just set her free
He ain't as drunk as he could be
He could be taking his liquor with a handful of pills
Getting involved with some no-good drug deals
And wrap his 2-50 right around a tree
He ain't as drunk as he could be
He takes the pain different than the rest
Well, he can't find the words to talk it right off his chest
And he don't give a damn, they say he's losing his mind
He just lives life one drink at a time Maybe one day, they'll have to see
He ain't as drunk as he could be
He could be taking his liquor with a handful of pills
Getting involved with some no-good drug deals
And wrap his 2-50 right around a tree
He ain't as drunk as he could be
He could be
That's all they can say
Born with a bottle in his hand anyway
Well, you can't always believe everything you see
'Cause he ain't as drunk as he could be
If you're asking me, he's doing just fine
Considering his only son just damn died
And I don't know how I'd do it if that was me
But he ain't as drunk as he could be
He could be taking his liquor with a handful of pills
Getting involved with some no-good drug deals
And wrap his 2-50 right around a tree
He ain't as drunk as he could be
She's let him down for the fifteenth damn time
Her and other men weigh heavy on his mind
But he don't have the will to just set her free
He ain't as drunk as he could be
He could be taking his liquor with a handful of pills
Getting involved with some no-good drug deals
And wrap his 2-50 right around a tree
He ain't as drunk as he could be
He takes the pain different than the rest
Well, he can't find the words to talk it right off his chest
And he don't give a damn, they say he's losing his mind
He just lives life one drink at a time Maybe one day, they'll have to see
He ain't as drunk as he could be
He could be taking his liquor with a handful of pills
Getting involved with some no-good drug deals
And wrap his 2-50 right around a tree
He ain't as drunk as he could be
He could be
