Drank myself to sleep last night And drank when I wake Drank all my problems away But they came right back the very next day I've had troubles And I was feeling bad All the troubles that I had Yes in that brown paper bag That brown paper bag Wine and women My favorite sins I didn't realize I didn't realize what kinda trouble What kinda trouble I was in I cashed my paycheck Just to pay my tab All the troubles that I had From that brown paper bag That brown paper bag Well I got full of good liquor I was having a natural ball Four, five good whiskeys And a captain Morgan double tall The job man let me go And my girlfriend stopped answering my calls All the troubles that I had Yeah, from that brown paper bag
