How do you spell relief?

I get D-R-U-N-K

Lately Dave, since my baby left meI do it almost every day

It′s the only thing that I've found

That′ll take the hurt away

Well, how do you spell relief, John?

I get D-R-U-N-K

Well, every night about sundown, I get a pain down deep inside

This old broken heart acts up

There's a hurtin' in my pride

But I′ve found a sure fire treatment

That′ll get me feelin' right

When your memory starts flarin′ up

I just head for the neon lights

How do you spell relief, David?

I get D-R-U-N-K

Lately, since my baby left

I do it almost every day

It's the only thing that I′ve found, John

That'll take the hurt away

Well, how do you spell relief?

I just get D-R-U-N-K

(John Hartford)

(Yeah)

I don′t need no doctor

Tell me what is wrong

I can fill my own prescriptions

And it lasts me all night long

It's the perfect medication

For an ailment such as mine

I forget about the tears I've cried

When the whiskey hits my mind

How do we spell relief?

We get D-R-U-N-K

Lately, since my baby left me

I do it almost every day

Well, I tell you, Johnny

It′s the only thing I′ve found

That'll take the pain away

How do we spell relief?

We get D-R-U-N-K

How do we spell relief?

We get D-R-U-N-K

How do we spell relief?

We get D-R-U-N-K

We′re havin' fun now, ain′t we?
