Johnny Paycheck - D.O.A. (Drunk On Arrival) Lyrics






Lord don't I know whiskey ain't a good chaser
For chasin' a mem'ry gone wild
It ain't no cure and it won't erase her
Only board up the pain for awhile
So why did I reach for that barroom door
I ain't been drunk in a week and a day
Lord guide these headlights 'cause the bottle tonight
Says I'm comin' home DOA

Drunk on arrival three sheets to the wind
Ain't no mistakin' the state that I'm in
Deliver me Lord from this hell where I been
Mixing whiskey and mem'ries till when
I'm drunk on arrival again

I musta drunk every drop that the bar had to offer
Musta closed it down drunk it dry
I ain't been in worse shape since the day that I lost her
And this bottle's the damn reason why
Now the road keeps a swayin' the stop signs are a blur
Lord I hope that you're lookin' my way
Hope the drive ends ahead 'cause I feel all but dead
Comin' home DOA

Drunk on arrival three sheets to the wind
Drunk on arrival three sheets to the wind

    For forty odd years Johnny Cash has been my number one but it is only in the last seven years I have got to know of Johnny Paycheck and his music and oh boy what a singer. I can't quite bring myself to say he is better than JC but he has to be mighty close. On second thoughts JP is the greatest country artist I have ever heard, there I have put it in writing. What an amazing talent he was, sadly lost in 2003 the same year as JC. Both are sadly missed among many others, men and women, just too many to state here. RIP all

  18. m.... m....

    everybody on here needs prayer Father forgive them for they know not what they do send down your hedge of protection and surround them with your love and pour out your precious blood from heaven above Amen Amen Amen brothers and sisters Amen.

    m.... m....

    If that's how you really feel, what are you doing watching/listening to this anyway? This isn't exactly Christian music.

    m.... m....

    melanie matthews mental illness must be hard.

    m.... m....

    Amen to that

  19. J.... N....

    Proud of this ohio boy....I've been DOA for years now.

  22. O.... B....

    johnny rules

  23. D.... C....

    Fuck that stay drunk

  24. m.... ....

    One of Paychecks best songs IMO. Reflecting on his life. Johnny had a difficult life but remained a pure country superstar. mos60

  25. c.... g....

    for many now it is stoned on arrival

  26. C.... M....

    That's too bad. I love all the songs on the last Epic release "Lovers & Losers" I posted some of it on my channel.

  27. S.... ....

    I love this guy,.. thanks mom! you know''

  28. M.... B....

    I've never been really drunk but I sure love the music, and Johnny Paycheck is one of the best.

    M.... B....

    fuck you

    M.... B....

    Lady, if you have never been so hammered drunk that you regret even being alive anymore then you don't deserve to even listen to this song!!! Fuck you!!!

    M.... B....

    threevisionsgodpark ..... yes

    M.... B....

    @threevisionsgodpark Good for you, boy.

    M.... B....

    How do you relate if you haven't been there?

  29. K.... N....

    this is why i called my old lady the "coroner"

  30. A.... ....

    I don't really understand why people seek out a video,then bad mouth it.Or argue about it.Relax,and ENJOY it! RIP Johnny!

  31. v.... ....

    That said, I enjoy this song, and I continue to drink, myself, on occasion. But I'll never be so much of a weakling to let my drinking get in the way of what's really important in life. I'm sorry if you don't happen to agree with that, but not as sorry as you'll be, I'm sure.

  32. v.... ....

    Here's something I have clue about, fuck-up.
    You should be in jail and maybe you already are, with your children.. all of you locked up for being stupid. Not for being drunk, but for being butt-fuck stupid and proud of it.
    The world has too many knuckle-draggers who think they ought to be brain surgeons.. if they only finished school.

  33. D.... C....

    I guess I shouldn't be surprised by the humorless, self-righteous twits who have taken a moment out of their prayer circle to criticize this song. You folks really shouldn't have internet connections. For your own sake.

  34. B.... H....

    @void212 I can tell that you never live Back in the Day...Hell's just singin what people wanted to hear...He was more man than most!

  35. G.... ....

    @void212 lighten up stupid ass--does everything have to be so literal with people like you, now go to a meeting and GOD forbid you are entertained by anything.

  36. v.... ....

    In summary, "I'm too addicted to this poison to admit that it's a problem, so I'll glorify it in my songs, because hell, I'm not alone." Yeah, good shit. Your a Real Man, Johnny. Too much of a child to develop the willpower to kick what eventually snuffed you out, likely drove your loved ones away, but hey, alcohol never leaves you. Rather, you never leave it. This stuff is hardly manly or worth any respect. Product of a human being who never graduated from childhood. Never a real man.

    v.... ....

    void212 fuck you!

  37. v.... ....

    What a great message song....NOT
    Drink and Drive and then make a song out of it.
    Nauseating and truly irresponsible.

  38. m.... t....

    whisky and meories forever brother! R.I.P.

  39. t.... ....

    R.I.P Johnny Paycheck, Take this life and shove it.

  40. l.... ....

    "it aint no cure"
