Before I Break - Uncle Tupelo

Sunday mornin', eight a.m.

Just cursin' myself again

Drinkin' like each one might be my last

Blurred memories of makin' toasts

To the cheapest beer and talk show hosts

Funny then but that’s fadin' fast

Here’s to wakin' up at night

Half drunk in a ditch by the side of the road

You’re still thinkin' that you can’t go on like this

Headed for a break down

You keep sayin' thanks for tomorrow, 'cause I can’t live

Thanks for tomorrow, 'cause I’ve had enough

Well, it’d do me just fine to make it through the night

On liquor I spent my last dime

A worried man drinks a healthy drink

But he drinks nine or ten

Until he’s done

Then he’ll tell you his life story

But he won’t stop until

He’s told to you and everyone

Well here’s to wakin' up at night

Half drunk in a ditch by the side of the road

You’re still thinkin' that you can’t go on like this

Before I break down

You keep sayin' thanks for tomorrow, 'cause I can’t live

Thanks for tomorrow, 'cause I’ve had enough

Well, it’d do me just fine to make it through the night

On liquor I spent my last dime

Blurred memories of makin' toasts

To the cheapest beer and talk show hosts

Funny then, but that’s fadin' fast

Here’s to wakin' up at night

Half drunk in a ditch by the side of the road

You’re still thinkin' that you can’t go on like this

Before I break down

You keep sayin' thanks for tomorrow, 'cause I can’t live

Thanks for tomorrow, 'cause I’ve had enough

Well, it’d do me just fine to make it through the night

On liquor I spent my last dime
