One Foot In The Gutter

One Foot in the Gutter - Oscar Brown, Jr.

Written by：Clark Terry/Oscar Brown Jr.

I am kind a woozy

My booze is a slashing around in my brain

If I stagger excuse me 'cause I fell no pain

I have been out drinking to everybody's except my own

Don't say I'm stinking

Just say that I am stoned

We're one foot in the gutter

I am marching down life's highway

So please don't quit me

I know a groovy after hours place

Come on go with me

You can buy me a taste

My feet

Won't walk right

They act like they ain't going my way

My pluton just won't talk right matter a word I say

That nosy lady is clucking like another mother hen

Yes it's me baby

And I am drunk again

We're one foot in the gutter

I am marching down life's highway

There's booze about here

Who stay home sober every single night

Not me I am out here

I've caved clean out of sight

With life

Man I'm really uptight
