My wife walked out on me this morning
So I drove down here to get high
Tootsie's Orchid Lounge on Broadway
I'm gonna Drink This Place Dry

Ain't had a job in over a year
She packed her clothes, said goodbye
Hey bartender, let the liquor flow
I'm gonna Drink This Place Dry

Set em up, girl
Beer after beer
I'll down everything
You got here

I begged her to stay, she said no
Laughed at me as I cried and cried
She said she can do better than me
I'm gonna Drink This Place Dry
