Tried to Quit (But I Just Quit Tryin')

Brother, you like havin' a drink or two

Sometimes twenty if you're feelin' blue

Sometimes one in the mornin' so you can get out of bed

You like gin, you like Jack, you like Maker's Mark

Drinkin' in the daytime, drinkin' in the dark

Drinkin' with a crowd, drinkin' alone

Drinkin' in the shower, drinkin' on the phone

Well, I tried to quit but I just quit tryin'

I tried to hide it but I'm bad at lyin'

So I am still drinkin' and you're still buyin'

I tried to quit but I just quit tryin'

Well, you like women but you're a married man

Sneakin' around every chance you can

The feminine nation's gonna be the ruination of you

Well, you like brunettes and redheads and bottle blondes

Pullin' them jeans off and mowin' them lawns

Starin' down the barrel of the same old gun

'Cause your wife and your girlfriend can't get along

Tried to quit but I just quit tryin'

Havin' several women is death-defyin'

If there's eggs to break, I can't help but fry 'em

I tried to quit but I just quit tryin'

Yeah, you like smokin' my cheap homegrown

That Mexican lettuce really gets you stoned

Cotton mouth so dry, you'll drink the water from a bong

You like Sinsemilla Red, Acopulco Gold

Maui Wowie, Resin From a Bowl

But we ain't wrote a song in so long, I don't know

And Johnny Law's waitin' for us after the show

Well, I tried to quit but I just quit tryin'

Roll me a joint and I'll start flyin'

Made us laugh so hard that we both started cryin'

I'm tryin' to quit but I just quit tryin'

I tried to quit but I just quit tryin', yeah

Ode-lay-ee, ode-lay-ee-ee
