I've lost count of the taverns Where my face has  kissed the floor at least twenty down in Texas Arizona, fourteen more twenty three in California In Wyoming, seventeen You can see there's lots of places I've been drunk But, haven't seen Kissed sixteen floors down in Nevada Twelve in Idaho Four over  in Hawaii and  in New Mexico It's not that I'm a fighter It isn't that I'm mean I'm just a drinker with a problem In the places that I've been It doesn't matter where I am I'm not selective, not at all I drink, I get in trouble I get hit, and then I fall I move around the country Kissing floors in every state I'm an alcoholic punching bag Kissing bar floors is my fate I kissed six in Massachuesetts Eleven more in Washington Twice, I ended on a table So, I just count them as one New Jersey I kissed plenty I lost count up in New York Up there the floors are softer Some floors are filled with cork Florida, I kissed the beach Seven times, at least I think One time doesn't count though I kissed the beach and didn't drink Lousianna, kissed a lot there There's a lot of floors to kiss I hit every bar down on Canal Street There wasn't one I didn't miss In South Dakota, can't remember Not too many bars around But, I did get in trouble once And yes....I kissed the ground Virginia, and Ohio Up in Minnesota too In Michigan, oh man oh man I kissed near twenty two In Illinois I kissed nineteen In Georgia, I kissed nine I found six teeth where I last fell And only two of them were mine there is not one location Where my face and floors have kissed I'm an alcoholic travel guide And I keep running into fists It doesn't matter where I am I'm not selective, not at all I drink, I get in trouble I get hit, and then I fall I move around the country Kissing floors in every state I'm an alcoholic punching bag Kissing bar floors is my fate

Kissing The Floor
I've lost count of the taverns Where my face has  kissed the floor at least twenty down in Texas Arizona, fourteen more twenty three in California In Wyoming, seventeen You can see there's lots of places I've been drunk But, haven't seen Kissed sixteen floors down in Nevada Twelve in Idaho Four over  in Hawaii and  in New Mexico It's not that I'm a fighter It isn't that I'm mean I'm just a drinker with a problem In the places that I've been It doesn't matter where I am I'm not selective, not at all I drink, I get in trouble I get hit, and then I fall I move around the country Kissing floors in every state I'm an alcoholic punching bag Kissing bar floors is my fate I kissed six in Massachuesetts Eleven more in Washington Twice, I ended on a table So, I just count them as one New Jersey I kissed plenty I lost count up in New York Up there the floors are softer Some floors are filled with cork Florida, I kissed the beach Seven times, at least I think One time doesn't count though I kissed the beach and didn't drink Lousianna, kissed a lot there There's a lot of floors to kiss I hit every bar down on Canal Street There wasn't one I didn't miss In South Dakota, can't remember Not too many bars around But, I did get in trouble once And yes....I kissed the ground Virginia, and Ohio Up in Minnesota too In Michigan, oh man oh man I kissed near twenty two In Illinois I kissed nineteen In Georgia, I kissed nine I found six teeth where I last fell And only two of them were mine there is not one location Where my face and floors have kissed I'm an alcoholic travel guide And I keep running into fists It doesn't matter where I am I'm not selective, not at all I drink, I get in trouble I get hit, and then I fall I move around the country Kissing floors in every state I'm an alcoholic punching bag Kissing bar floors is my fate
