What I'm Supposed to Be Lyrics

Woke up in my lawn once again

Empty bottle rye and Seagram's gin

No one was surprised, it sounded just like me

Cause that's who I'm supposed to be

Saw my old guitar at the liquor store

Pawned it off there right before the war

Money was tight, gave me my liquor cheap

Cause that's who I'm supposed to be

I used to read some books to get me by

People felt my nose was just a little too high

The only reading I do is those labels on Jim Beam

Cause that's who I'm supposed to be

Sometimes it's hard to find the door

When you're lying face down on the floor

Get there in time and I'll guarantee

Cause that's who I'm supposed to be

I used to drink a beer when I woke

Scotch, bourbon, wine all made me broke

Spent my last dime on some old Tennessee

Cause that's who I'm supposed to be

Make a fool of myself when I'm out on the town

Close every goddamn bar down

Good for my image, makes me seem free

Cause that's who I'm supposed to be
