Recorded by George Jones
Written by Earl Montgomery and George Jones

G                                      C
He embarrasses his child and wife Lord he leads a miserable life
                        G                   D7
But still he thinks the bottle is his right hand
G                                       C
Yes and he can tear down more than he's ever built before
               G                     D7               G
A man can be a drunk sometimes but a drunk can't be a man

                                        C
He lets his business lag behind for the nightlife he can find
                           G          D7
Why he does all this he'll never understand
G                                    C
In the morning when he wakes up Lord he can't wait to fill his cup
               G                     D7               G
A man can be a drunk sometimes but a drunk can't be a man

    C
For he goes from Doctor Jackel to Mr. Hide
   G                                     D7
He seems proud to have the devil for his guide
         G                          C
Still he keeps on reaching out Lord he needs a helping hand
                   G                     D7               G
But a man can be a drunk sometimes but a drunk can't be a man

C                  G                     D7               G
Yes a man can be a drunk sometimes but a drunk can't be a man
