I'm going to the store
To get myself some beer
And if they canned up sanity
Would they sell it here?
I'd buy myself a truckload
And drink away the night
Maybe then my baby
You and me would be all right
Cos you load me down
You load me down
You load me down with my regrets
I'm like a ship about to sink
I'm just drinking to forget
And I don't forget to drink
I don't forget to drink it down
You load me down
Thinking how it used to be
To be alone with you
Telling any lies we could
To steal an hour or two
It ain't like that now, babe
We're together and you're mine
With a silent rhetoric
We wish away our time.
You load me down
You load me down
You load me down with my regrets
I'm like a ship about to sink
I'm just drinking to forget
And I don't forget to drink
I don't forget to drink it down
You load me down
