  • I woke up on the ground
    I guess I should've kept that shit to myself
    Turns out I'm pretty good at runnin' my mouth
    But not good enough (not good enough)
    You know when I go in, it's lights out
    I couldn't hear a thing 'cause the song was too loud
    Last night I had thirty-two teeth in my mouth
    Some went away
    Why'd you have to go and fuckin' ruin my day?

    You're the reason why I got my ass kicked
    But you're the only way to drown my sadness
    This is my love-hate letter out to alcohol
    You're the reason why I got my ass kicked

    I was laid out flat like a centerfold
    Jakey and his partner drove me home
    Lookin' in the mirror, something's wrong
    Let me get my dentist on the phone
    Found my keys and I went back out
    Someone asked me how it all went down
    I remember like it's yesterday
    I took a shot, took a shot, took a shot, took another shot
    Fell right out my fuckin' chair, swingin' for his eye
    Then a big chrome ring flew in from the side
    I thought I died
    Why'd you have to go and fuckin' ruin my night?

    You're the reason why I got my ass kicked
    But you're the only way to drown my sadness
    This is my love-hate letter out to alcohol
    You're the reason why I got my ass kicked Writer/s: Austin Richard Post, Louis Russell Bell, Robin Noel Pecknold
