Harry Connick Jr Boozehound Lyrics

Boozehound Lyrics

I used to be a boozehound
Spent my time downtown
Gettin round
Sittin in the barroom
Tryin to get another drink
"I think you`ve had enough"
"Come on... Just one more"
This time I ain`t feelin so fine
Whatcha say we get to downin
Don`t throw me just forget about the line
I wish I could be drownin
Sweet water... I ain`t seen her in a while
I don`t know if I can face her
I know she can always make me smile
If I can`t outrun my chaser
I used to be a boozehound
Buzzin round midtown
Gettin loaded
Tryin to get a number
Feelin mighty good
"Is this guy bothering you?"
"No, no, I was just..."
All my life there ain`t never been a drought
That`s probably been my downfall
Even though, you know,
I might be passed out
I won`t drop the high ball
I know where the river flows
And the lives that it devours
Ain`t it great I can touch my nose
But I can`t smell the flowers
I used to be a boozehound
Stumblin uptown
Gettin higher
Fallin off the barstool
Rememberin where I left the floor
"Say buddy, you need some help"
"No, I`m cool..."
Come and get me you can be my Boogeyman
You can catch me on the rebound
You may not fly like the Candyman can
But it`s safer on the ground
Just one more trip to the fun house
They`ll smother me with foam
See, my brother, that`s the one house
That I can call my home
