Lyrics
SOBER
It’s 3:00 P.M. and I’m still in bed
A bit hungover and feeling dead
Coffee sounds good but so does beer
It’s gonna be lonely without you living here
I should’ve chose better…our love is over
Things might have worked out better girl, if only I was sober
Sober…
We found some good times in between the bad
Happiness overshadowed by the sad
I thought you’d never leave but I was wrong
I am the weak…you are the strong
I should’ve chose better…our love is over
Things might have worked out better girl, if only I was sober
Sober…
You were shaking your head as I drank the night away
I was watching you leave the bar with nothing to say
Money in my pocket… I’m buying drinks all around
When I hit the floor, the band was playing “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down”
It’s 3:00 P.M. and I’m still in bed
Fire in my eyes...thunder in my head
If lay real still I can hear your voice
When I close my eyes, I curse my choice
I should’ve chose better…our love is over
Things might have worked out better girl, if only I was sober
Hey, pity on me…our love is over
Things might have worked out better girl, if only I was sober…
Sober…Sober…Sober…Sober…
It’s 3:00 P.M. and I’m still in bed
A bit hungover and feeling dead
