How do you spell relief?
I get D-R-U-N-K
Lately Dave since my baby left me
I do it almost every day
It's the only thing that I've found
That'll take the hurt away
Well how do you spell relief John?
I get D-R-U-N-K
Every night about sundown I get a pain down deep inside
This old broken heart acts up
There's a hurtin' in my pride
Well I've found a sure fire treatment
That'll get me feelin' right
When your memory starts flarin' up
I just head for the neon lights
How do you spell relief David?
I get D-R-U-N-K
Lately since my baby left
I do it almost every day
It's the only thing that I've found John
That'll take the hurt away
Well how do you spell relief?
I just get D-R-U-N-K
John Hartford
I don't need no doctor
Tell me what is wrong
I can fill my own perscriptions
And it lasts me all night long
It's the perfect medication
For an ailment such as mine
I forget about the tears I've cried
When the whiskey hits my mind
How do we spell relief?
We get D-R-U-N-K
Lately since my baby left me
I do it almost every day
Well I tell ya Johnny
Its the only thing I've found
That'll take the pain away
How do we spell relief?
We get D-R-U-N-K
How do we spell relief?
We get D-R-U-N-K
How do we spell relief?
We get D-R-U-N-K
We're havin' fun now ain't we?
