Lyrics
I remember a girl from the Salvation Army
Walked into the barroom last night
Well, she took out her bible and sat down beside us
And proceeded to show us the light
Well, we must’ve been drunk
When we said we’d stop drinking
A double shot over the line
Oh, we had to be drunk
Lord what were we thinkin’
Well, we must have been out of our minds
Well, I rolled a smoke, as she read us a scripture
St. Peter, St. Luke and St. Paul
And I said, now how come your talkin’ about walkin’ on water
to two drunks who can’t even crawl
Well, we must’ve been drunk
When we said we’d stop drinking
A double shot over the line
Oh, we had to be drunk
Lord what were we thinkin’
Well, we must have been out of our minds
I was down on my knees the last I remember
She was prayin’ me back to the fold
And I might have promised that I’d give up the bottle
but Jack Daniels walked off with my soul
Well, we must’ve been drunk
When we said we’d stop drinking
A double shot over the line
Oh, we had to be drunk
Lord what were we thinkin’
Well, we must have been out of our minds
Well, we must’ve been drunk
When we said we’d stop drinking
A double shot over the line
Oh, we had to be drunk
Lord what were we thinkin’
Well, we must have been out of our minds
Well, we must have been out of our minds
