I'm going to the store,
To get myself some beer,
And if they canned up sanity,
Would they sell it here?,
I'd buy myself a truckload,
And drink away the night,
Maybe then my baby,
You and me would be all right,
Cos you load me down,
You load me down,
You load me down with my regrets,
I'm like a ship about to sink,
I'm just drinking to forget,
And I don't forget to drink,
I don't forget to drink it down,
You load me down.
Thinking how it used to be,
To be alone with you,
Telling any lies we could,
To steal an hour or two,
It ain't like that now, babe,
We're together and you're mine,
With a silent rhetoric,
We wish away our time.
You load me down,
You load me down,
You load me down with my regrets,
I'm like a ship about to sink,
I'm just drinking to forget,
And I don't forget to drink,
I don't forget to drink
