its such a pity
when booze leaves it's stamp
and all the people act so drunken
used to get blotto...to the bars, i'd go
and get my inhibitions shrunken
such lunacy...a bad world

put it down..i'm doin' it my way
with a big cup of coffee by my side
cigarette is lit...blowin' smoke from my mouth
i am filled with pride
i let my life go...i had to stop
needed to reach out, baby
i'll make it to the top
no more backslidin'
cause i can't abide it no more

rum's the wrong way...don't you dally
show your best side...not your worst side
makes your body feel so crappy
but my strength is risin' all the time
we all just take it day to day
i love A.A....(we love it)
i love A.A....(we love it)

days, i've been countin'
days, i've been free
look at that drunk over there
he's got the disease
look at me, brother
your damn life's goin' nowhere

certainly, it is hard....(we love it)
victory's always hard...(we love it)
givin' up alcohol's very hard...(we love it)
big feat...(we love it...we love it)
i love A.A....(we love it)
i love A.A....(we love it)
i love A.A....(we love it)
