1. When I was young, restless and wild
I lost count of the speeding tickets I compiled
Then came the day they took my license away
And I had to beg from my friends in this way:
Please, won't you drive me to drink?
Oh, please, won't you drive me to drink?
It's five miles to the bar and I ain't got no car
So, please, won't you drive me to drink?
2. I met a sweet girl, but homely as sin
After ten dates, she invited me in
But when she turned the lights low
I felt no urge below
So I leaned close and said soft and slow:
Oh, please, won't you drive you to drink?
Ah, please, won't you drive me to drink?
I want to be your lover, but I can't do it sober
So, please, won't you drive me to drink?
3. Then that girl became my wife
We settled into a comfortable life
I watched the TV while she used her fingernail file
But then she asked me after a while
Oh, please let me drive you to drink
I really want to drive you to drink
Our marriage ain't over, but I can't stand you sober
So, please let me drive you to drink
4. And now my dear wife's passed away
It's now been a year to the day
I've moved next to the bar
'Cause I still got no car
When I toast to her memory, I say:
My wife, she drove me to drink
That woman really drove me to drink
Yes, my dear wife put joy in my life
'Cause she always would drive me to drink
Ending:
So, please, won't you drive me to drink?
Oh, please, won't you drive me to drink?
It's five miles to the bar and I ain't got no car
So, please, won't you drive me to drink?
