Hard Work Bein’ Sober

One foot in, the other sayin' don't go

But that door swings open, and my heart says hello

To the glow, to the crowd, to the sweet señorita sound

Man, I should've turned that truck around

Too many drinks I done counted before

Said last night's my last, then I said one more

Flashing lights in the rearview mirror

I prayed, Lord, don't let em pull me nearer

Luck hit twice, wasn't meant for me

Some poor soul took my misery

I swear I'm tryin' to get sober

But temptation got a ten-step holdin' me over

Oh my, my, it's hard work bein' sober

Too many sweet lil' mamacitas callin' me over

Señorita, take it easy on me

If I take one more shot, I'll lose my streak

From tequila dreams to a casita scene

I'm fightin' the man I used to be

Oh my, my, it's hard work bein' sober

Cowboy hat tipped low in the smoke

She's laughin' close, that perfume spoke

Said, Mi amor, just one won't hurt

But I've been down that road, face in the dirt

Every glass looks like freedom pourin'

Every song keeps the devil roarin'

I ain't no saint, but I'm tryin' to be

Still that bar light keeps callin' me

I need an intervention, out here token

Can't fix a heart that's half-broken

One foot steady, one foot shakin'

Good intentions, bad decisions waitin'

Oh my, my, it's hard work bein' sober

Too many sweet lil' mamacitas callin' me over

Señorita, don't you play that song

My will ain't strong when the night's this long

From tequila laughs to a walk of shame

Tryin' to outrun my own damn name

Oh my, my, yeah, it's hard work bein' sober

If you see me in that cantina again

Just tell the bartender I'm off the blend

I'm out the door, truck keys in hand

But damn, this sober thing's hard to stand
