"I Only Love You When I'm Drunk" - yet another country song by Yours Truly [vanity]
Me, via YouTube (as Hopalong Ginsberg) ^ | 11/12/14 | Me, as "Hopalong Ginsberg"

Posted on 11/12/2014 9:54:59 AM PST by Slings and Arrows

I've perpetrated another song, and as always I'm looking for honest opinions and comments. Unctuous flattery is also accepted.

1. I write and record under the stage name Hopalong Ginsberg. This is to prevent sex-crazed groupies from hunting me down IRL and having their way with me. Unfortunately, it works.

2. This song calls for a rich, resonant Country voice. I ain't got one. Such is life on Volg.

3. You can download an MP3 of the song by clicking here or here. Click here too, while you're at it.

4.

I Only Love You When I’m Drunk



At 2 AM I said I’d love you

Until the Trump of Doom.

But now the dawn is breaking

And my head is aching

And why are you still in my room?

Yeah, slip a little Jack Black in me,

I’m your tall, dark, romantic hunk.

But the fact of the matter is, my honey,

I only love you when I’m drunk.



When Captain Morgan introduced us

The chemistry just wasn’t there,

But Jose Cuervo took your side

And you became my lady fair.

We rode the Night Train to my place,

Johnnie Walker showed you to my bunk,

A little later I said I love you –

Do you think that maybe I was drunk?



At 2 AM I said I’d love you

Until the Trump of Doom.

But now the dawn is breaking

And my head is aching

And why are you still in my room?

Yeah, slip a little Jack Black in me,

I’m your tall, dark, romantic hunk.

But there ain't no doubt about it, darling,

I only love you when I’m drunk.



On our wedding day I stood at the altar

With Jimmy Beam as my best man.

Then Two-Buck Chuck slipped the ring on your finger

And that was when it hit the fan.

We honeymooned at Boone’s Farm, honey,

And everything was going swell.

But then the Mad Dog bit me, I wound up in detox,

And my whole world went to hell.



I’m sorry that I have to leave you, honey,

But there’s no way we can work it out.

A broken heart can mend with care and time, but in the end

It’s my liver that I’m worried about.

When I’ve got a happy glow I’m the nicest guy you know

But there’s no sober without S.O.B.

I gotta find myself a doll that don’t require ethanol

To tell me she’s the one for me.



At 2 AM I said I’d love you

Until the Trump of Doom.

But now the dawn is breaking

And my head is aching

And why are you still in my room?

Yeah, slip a little Jack Black in me,

I’m your tall, dark, romantic hunk.

But there ain't no doubt about it, sweetie,

I only love you when I’m drunk.

I only love you when I’m drunk.

I only love you when I’m...

Great old fashioned country.

If you need a “B” side, I can see if I can find some lyrics I wrote years ago. “I don’t want to love you forever, just rent you for tonight”

Re your lyrics: LOL!

Thanks for the kind words - I was trying very hard to get a old-fashioned country sound-and-feel. It’s a shame that GarageBand doesn’t have a country fiddle patch.

"But there’s no sober without S.O.B."

And that is why liberals will never know as much as a single day of sobriety.
