Somewhat Sober Tonight

Copyright 2015 Robert J. Thompson

AFTER TWO WEEKS OF DRINKIN'
AND TWO WEEKS OF BEIN' ALONE
I'M HOPIN' AND I'M PRAYIN'
THAT YOU'LL CALL ME ON MY TELEPHONE
AS THE WEEKEND'S GETTIN' NEARER
MY MINDS A LITTLE CLEARER
AND I'LL DO MY BEST TO MAKE IT ALL RIGHT
CAUSE I'M SOMEWHAT SOBER
SOMEWHAT SOBER TONIGHT

I TOOK YOU FOR GRANTED
I GUESS I'VE DONE EVERYTHING WRONG
BUT I'VE WAITED A LIFE TIME
FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU TO COME ALONG
SO I PROMISE TO DRINK LESS
AND BEG YOUR FORGIVENESS
AND I'LL LOVE YOU GIRL WITH ALL OF MY MIGHT
CAUSE I'M SOMEWHAT SOBER
SOMEWHAT SOBER TONIGHT

SOMEWHAT SOBER TONIGHT
I'M SOMEWHAT SOBER TONIGHT
I CAN ALMOST SEE THE LIGHT
I'M SOMEWHAT SOBER
SOMEWHAT SOBER TONIGHT

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

THANK YOU FOR CALLIN'
AND FOR TAKIN’ ME BACK ONE MORE TIME
THE THOUGHT OF LIVIN' WITHOUT YOU
HAS NEVER REALLY CROSSED MY MIND
SO WITH EACH DAY THAT PASSES
WE’LL LIFT UP OUR GLASSES
AND CELEBRATE THE REST OF OUR LIVES
CAUSE I’M SOMEWHAT SOBER
SOMEWHAT SOBER TONIGHT

SOMEWHAT SOBER TONIGHT
I'M SOMEWHAT SOBER TONIGHT
I CAN ALMOST SEE THE LIGHT
I'M SOMEWHAT SOBER
SOMEWHAT SOBER TONIGHT

SOMEWHAT SOBER TONIGHT
I'M SOMEWHAT SOBER TONIGHT
I CAN ALMOST SEE THE LIGHT
I'M SOMEWHAT SOBER
SOMEWHAT SOBER TONIGHT
