A Drunk Can't Be A Man

He embarrasses his wife and child
Lord, he leads a miserable life
But still he thinks the bottle is his right hand

Yes and he can tear down more
Than he's ever built before
A man can be a drunk sometimes
But a drunk can't be a man

For he goes from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde
He seems proud to have the devil for his guide

Still he keeps on reachin' out
Lord, he needs a helping hand
But a man can be a drunk sometimes
But a drunk can't be a man

Yes, a man can be a drunk sometimes
But a drunk can't be a man

A Drunk Can't Be A Man (unreleased cover)
