I woke up with some Wild Turkey starin’ at me
I poured a couple fingers into my cup of coffee
I got up and I tried to recall the whole night
Why do I drink so much? Why do I smoke on that pipe?

Chorus:
Nobody said I’ve got to act like a Hollywood star
I wasted too many hours in far too many bars
I don’t like to drink alone at all

Next thing I know, the phone is ringin’ off the wall
I stumbled through the beer, and the cigarettes and women and all
It’s just my wife, she said, “I’ve had it now, and I’m taking the kids”
I down another chug-a-lug and I blow her a whiskey kiss

Chorus:
Nobody said I’ve got to act like a Hollywood star
I wasted too many hours in far too many bars
I don’t like to drink alone at all

They told me, everything would be fine, but they lied
I knew that drinkin’ alone was not right, at least in my mind

On the bus again, crossin’ all the state borders
I’m on my way to another late night recording
Got all my friends, on board and some in cars on the side
Cause you know I’ll need some help drinkin’ my way through the night

Chorus:
Nobody said I’ve got to act like a Hollywood star
I wasted too many hours in far too many bars
I don’t like to drink alone at all
