	Lyrics ON A SLANT Just got back - walkin' on a slant Been strollopin' out all night Could have drank less - felt better 20/20 hindsight All kinds of drinks - beer and gin 'Til way past midnight Could have drank less - felt better 20/20 hindsight So them girls in bars -I tell ya, some of them are sweet A couple of beers and I'm on that like a dog on meat Don't even have to beg, buy drinks or lie Just be my bad-ass self - so far it's got me by Can't drink too much though - gotta stay alert You let that alcohol start talkin' man you're bound to get hurt 'Cause 'round here, I tell ya, you say the wrong thing You end up in a hospital bed with both arms in a sling Just some touchy folks who happen to love fist fights So just show some respect and you'll get through the night Bars close, walkin' home - everything's on a slant Tryin to find my way home the best way I can Get home - shirt stinkin' of smoke and cologne Too drunk to bring them girls home so I'm sleepin' alone Black out like those nights with no moon Ain't doin' this again anytime too soon So I was just talkin' to this girl thought she was pretty She was with her boyfriend - he got jealous - tried to hit me But he missed - I swung back - caught his jaw, broke my knuckle Took off my belt and got him good with my buckle Did I ask for this trouble? No - but can't be helped Some fool always ruins my night when it's goin' well I just wanted to lay low, get a drink, relax Instead I end up beating this jealous dumbass Hit one more bar on the way back home Bought a bottle of whiskey in case the walk took too long A little tired, I stopped by a payphone Called my friend in Dyersburg so as not to drink alone You know it's bad when you start swayin' from the gin Best I find my bed soon before they bring my ass in Take them side streets, parking lots and parks Swayin' whiskey totin' fool makin' his way in the dark
