Well, I drank myself to sleep last night
And dreamt Jesus came around
He said “Son, I had high hopes for you
But your ship has run aground”
So I poured myself a whiskey
And he changed it into gin
Said “Son, you’d better mend your ways
Before you drown in sin
You’re gonna drown in sin”
There’s no reason to stay sober
Now you’re gone
There’s no sense staying sober
Now you’re gone
Well I didn’t go to work today
I won’t make it in tomorrow
‘Cause there’s not enough drink in this world
To drown this kind of sorrow
My father has disowned me
And my mother died of shame
And my brother wants to kill you
‘Cause he knows that you’re to blame
Knows that you’re to blame
There’s no reason to stay sober
Now you’re gone
There’s no sense staying sober
Now you’re gone
Now you’re gone
Well, I tried the staying sober thing
And it bored me half to death
So I’m gonna stay a drunkard
Until my dying breath
So I’ll pour myself a whiskey
And I’ll chase it with a gin
And I’ll go out the bars tonight
To drown myself in sin
Drown myself again
There’s no reason to stay sober
Now you’re gone
There’s no sense staying sober
Now you’re gone
Now you’re gone
