When I Stop Drinking Lyrics - Nine Pound Hammer

When I stop drinking I hold my head up high, 

and everyone will wonder what I'm thinking! 

They'll smile and wave whenever I pass by, 

That'll be me you all see when I stop drinking! 

But tonight I'm trying, 

anything that anyone's buying. 

Gonna get as wasted as can be! 

Tomorrow When I rise, 

I'll see the world through sober eyes, 

and start being the man I said I'd always be! 

When I stop drinking they'll have a big parade, 

and give me the key to my hometown. 

They'll put me on their shoulders and carry me around, 

That'll be me you all see when I stop drinking! 

But tonight I'm trying, 

anything that anyone's buying. 

Gonna get as wasted as can be! 

Tomorrow When I rise, 

I'll see the world through sober eyes, 

and start being the man I said I'd always be!
