GHe embarrasses his child and wife, Lord, Che leads a miserable life
But still he thinks the Gbottle is his right D7hand
GYes, and he can tear down more than he's Cever built before
A man can be a Gdrunk sometimes but a D7drunk can't be a Gman
He lets his business lag behind for the Cnightlife he can find
Why he does all this he'll Gnever underD7stand
GIn the morning when he wakes up, Lord, Che can't wait to fill his cup
A man can be a Gdrunk sometimes but a D7drunk can't be a Gman
For Che goes from Dr Jekyll to Mr Hyde
He Gseems proud to have the devil for his D7guide
Still he Gkeeps on reaching out, Lord, Che needs a helping hand
But a man can be a Gdrunk sometimes but a D7drunk can't be a Gman
CYes, a man can be a Gdrunk sometimes but a D7drunk can't be a Gman
