Our family is a prison
Of misery and sad
My sister blames my mother
I just blame my dad
You can live or you can drown
On thoughts
You can’t get rid of
Shut that stinkin’ thinkin’ down
With fellowship and love
I’m a sad man
Getting sadder every day
Sitting on a barstool
While my life drips away
You can live or you can drown
On thoughts
You can’t get rid of
Shut that stinkin’ thinkin’ down
With fellowship and love
Everything I try to do
Is just gonna fail
I’m coward and a loser
I belong in jail
You can live or you can drown
On thoughts
You can’t get rid of
Shut that stinkin’ thinkin’ down
With fellowship and love
I should just accept
What everybody knows
Bad luck gonna follow
Everywhere I go
You can live or you can drown
On thoughts
You can’t get rid of
Shut that stinkin’ thinkin’ down
With fellowship and love
It really makes sense
To drink my blues away
It’s all God’s fault
For making me this way
You can live or you can drown
On thoughts
You can’t get rid of
Shut that stinkin’ thinkin’ down
With fellowship and love
