the doctor told me to settle down

stop trickin bad luck into givin you more ground

I said there’s a tougher thing than suicide

drawin lots with the lawyer is like a bullet in my hide

cuz I laugh just a bit too loud

and I smile just a bit too wide

and to keep it bottled up inside

well there ain’t enough booze

there ain’t enough booze in the world

the counselor told me ya gotta let it ride

just give her love and everything’ll be all right

I looked at him and I had to laugh

six years of bad road and now you’re tryin to light my path

cuz I stayed just a bit too long

and I gave just a bit too free

but to make it like it used to be

there ain’t enough booze

ain’t enough booze in the world

ain’t enough booze in this life to imagine

these things to be true

and maybe I could wake in vegas with a weddin ring

but I could never keep a bad love just suffering

no there ain’t enough booze

my buddy told me to come along

got a gig for good bread playin other people’s songs

well I picked up a guitar and I played the part

sang from the gut but I never used my heart

and I laughed just a bit too loud

and I smiled just a bit too wide

but I could not get satisfied-

yeah I laughed just a bit too loud

and I smiled just a bit too wide

but ya couldn’t keep me on that ride

there ain’t enough booze

no there ain’t enough booze in the world

ain’t enough booze in this life to imagine

these things to be true

ain’t enough booze.
