about

This is one of three country tracks we wrote. Billy was touring and was in the South a lot - we were inspired! We had a lot of laughs while we wrote this. Guitarist, Gary Potterton was a phenomenal addition to our team for this recording.

lyrics

Opened my eyes I was twenty minutes late
Head over heals, crashed through the gate
Tripped on my hem, stepped on a skate
It turned right and I went straight

I picked a fine time to quit drinkin'
What the heck was I thinkin'?
Right about now I could use one or two

I picked a fine time to quit drinkin'
My self-control is sinkin'
I got to find a new way that’ll help get me through

Momma said "Stay cool you'd better be wary
"He's the coal mine, you're the canary"
But you said you loved me and we should marry
Then you left with everything your truck could carry

Porter wants a dirt bike, Dolly wants a pony
You're behind on your alimony
Eating prime rib and watchin' your Sony
We're nukin' last night's Rice-a-Roni

I picked a fine time to quit drinkin'
What the heck was I thinkin'?
Right about now I could use one or two

I picked a fine time to quit drinkin'
My self-control is sinkin'
I got to find a new way 'cause I got things to do

Flew into work, my make-up all a mess
Runner in my stocking, coffee on my dress
Boss is getting grabby, wants to take me to lunch
It's all I can do not to throw a punch

I picked a fine time to quit drinkin'…
What the heck was I thinkin'?
Right about now I could use one or two

I picked a fine time to quit drinkin'
My self-control is sinkin'
I got to find a new way to help forget about you
