Lyrics
Drunk Stoned and Adultrous
(chorus)
Drunk stoned and adulterous,
You know it just ain't right.
Come home that way,
In the middle of the night.
When I was just a young man,
My daddy told me , son,
If your going to be a singer son,
Some things just can't be done.
You got your wife and your children,
At your humble abode.
You got clean sheets and shirts and love,
And you got your do's and your don'ts.
(chorus)
My wife and her friend Annie,
Talking on the telephone.
Each one telling the other one,
What her no good boy had done.
While we were out there drinking
And having all our fun,
Annie told my wife about
Some things her no good man had done.
(chorus)
If you're getting older and you're trying to progress,
You got to try and realize true happiness.
Get your head on a little bit straighter
And try to focus your eyes.
Cause it looks like you're about to go
Home to your good wife, (good wife)
(chorus)
