George Jones A Drunk Can`t Be A Man Lyrics

A Drunk Can`t Be A Man Lyrics

He embarrasses his child and wife

Lord, he leads a miserable life

But still he thinks the bottle is his right hand



Yes and he can tear down more

Than he's ever built before

A man can be a drunk sometimes

But a drunk can't be a man



He lets your business lag behind

For the nightlife he can find

Why he does all this he'll never understand



And in the morning when he wakes up

Lord, he can't wait to fill his cup

A man can be a drunk sometimes

But a drunk can't be a man



For he goes from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde

He seems proud to have the devil for his guide



Still he keeps on reachin' out

Lord, he needs a helping hand

But a man can be a drunk sometimes

But a drunk can't be a man



Yes, a man can be a drunk sometimes

But a drunk can't be a man
