(Town drunk, he's the town drunk
He was once a man of means
But just look how low he sunk
The bright lights that glitter led him to the gutter
Now he's the town drunk.)

I know it, I know I'm the town drunk
But once I had a good life
A fine home and a lovin' wife
Why I was respected by the whole community
Then I got to drinkin' real, real bad
I lost everything I ever had
I just couldn't control my drinkin'
And now my drinkin' it controls me.

(Town drunk, he's the town drunk
He was once a man of means
But just look how low he sunk
The bright lights that glitter led him to the gutter
Now he's the town drunk.)

Yeah, that's right the bright lights that glitter
Led me here to this gutter
(Now he's the town drunk...)
This song is from the album "Skid Row Joe / Down in the Alley (RCA Victor)".
