Once was a man who had lost all his direction.
And soon his friends put it all up for inspection.
"Think it's because of the alcohol.
You drink alone -- well beyond last call.
Donate your corpse or your liver for dissection."
He took offense, swore he wasn't such a boozer.
"Pile on me, now, since you're all a bunch of losers.
Might take a drink, but I keep my job.
Out of my sight. You're a hateful mob.
Once called you friends, but I'll be a better chooser."
"Who thought this up? Who's the saint of spotless virtue?
Please tell me, now, oh, just what I've done to hurt you.
If I get mean, I apologize.
Most of the time I don't criticize.
You're dead to me. I just thought I might alert you."
Eight-year-old girl said: "Dad, I called your friends here."
Wife touched his arm, said: "We do this out of love, dear.
Reach out for help 'cause you might not stop.
Chains that a slave says he will not drop.
It's up to you. Your decision point is now here."

I drink alone, yeah
With nobody else
I drink alone, yeah
With nobody else
You know when I drink alone
I prefer to be by myself
Every morning just before breakfast
I don’t want no coffee or tea
Just me and good buddy Wiser
That’s all I ever need
‘Cause I drink alone, yeah
With nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone
I prefer to be by myself
The other night I laid sleeping
And I woke from a terrible dream
So I caught up my pal Jack Daniel’s
And his partner Jimmy Beam
And we drank alone, yeah
With nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone
I prefer to be by myself
The other day I got invited to a party
But I stayed home instead
Just me and my pal Johnny Walker
And his brothers Black and Red
And we drank alone, yeah
With nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone
I prefer to be by myself
My whole family done give up on me
And it makes me feel oh so bad
The only one who will hang out with me
Is my dear Old Grand-Dad
And we drink alone, yeah
With nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone
I prefer to be by myself
