REO Speedwagon

When I get dragged down by the problems of the day
I watch my inspiration as it slips away
I start to think 'bout the things are goin' fine
I'm feelin' sorry and I start to drinkin' wine
I got to reelin'
From drinkin' wine I get to reelin'
I start forgettin'
Woah man, I get to reelin'

My taste has grown for wine I like it very much
I hate to think of myself needin' such a crutch
When I get tense and seems like things are closin' in
I feel I must escape and that's when I begin
I got to reelin'
From drinkin' wine I get to reelin'
I start forgettin'
Woah man, I get to reelin'

Don't want my drinkin' to affect the things I do
They say a bottle can ruin a lifetime
But I can recommend a fundamental cure
It just might help you now and get you through the nighttime

Don't want my drinkin' to affect the things I do
They say a bottle can ruin a lifetime
'Cuz I can recommend a fundamental cure
It just might help you now and get you through the nighttime

Well, just like anything it's bad when it's abused
I'd hate to try to count the bottles that I've used
Or take more heat in what I say than what I do
You can't enjoy but you must know how much to use
I got to reelin'
From drinkin' wine I get to reelin'
I start forgettin'
Woah I get to reelin'
I got to reelin'
From drinkin' wine I get to reelin'
I start forgettin'
Woah boy, I get to reelin'
Oh my, I get to reelin'
From drinkin' wine I get to reelin'
Woah, oh, I get this feelin'
From drinkin' wine I get to reelin'
Ah, woah, woah
From drinkin' wine I get to reelin'
(I get reelin')
I get this, get this feelin'
(I get reelin')
Drink too much wine I get to reelin'
(he get reelin')
From drinkin' wine I get to reelin'
