The news these days suck. This is a little attempt to express how it makes me feel.
Drive Me To Drink
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
watching the news
things zoom through
what can I say
much to my dismay
it’s enough to
drive me to drink
drive me to drink
it’s all a little too dark
drive me to drink
just to slink into the dark
drive me to drink
drive me to drink
drive me to drink
why is it this way
I have to say
things once were sane
but that’s no more
the presence tense is the worse
just wish I could fix it quick
but it’s not to be
maybe I’ll buy another beer
drive me to drink
it’s all a little too dark
drive me to drink
just to slink into the dark
drive me to drink
drive me to drink
drive me to drink
[bridge]
sober as I can be
things don’t seem to change
all I want to do is cry
as I try to forget it all
we’re going to take it higher
to the next level
when it’s all over I say
we’ll no longer think
it’s about to
drive me to drink
it’s all a little too dark
drive me to drink
just to slink into the dark
drive me to drink
drive me to drink
drive me to drink
