You know I love to drink my share of whiskey, beer and wine
But lately I've had one too many, one too many times
So bartender, I've been thinkin' up a drinkin' resolution
I've thought about it long and hard and here is my solution

Cut me off at one tonight that's gonna be my limit
Help me look out for my elbow and watch how much I bend it
I can't stay out all night no more, I gotta get home early
So cut me off at one tonight or about one thirty

If they held a honky tonk marathon, I know I'd win the prize
'Cause every night when I crawl home the sun gets in my eyes
But tonight its gonna be different, yeah, I'm finally cuttin' down
In fact I feel so good, I think I'll buy another round

So cut me off at two tonight that's gonna be my limit
Help me look out for my elbow and watch how much I bend it
I can't stay out all night no more, I gotta get home early
So cut me off at two tonight or about two thirty

Well, there's more to life than fun
And games and it's high time that I learn
There's times you gotta sacrifice
And I guess that it's my turn

So cut me off at three tonight that's gonna be my limit
Help me look out for my elbow and watch how much I bend it
I can't stay out all night no more, I gotta get home early
So cut me off at three tonight or about three thirty

Yeah, cut me off at three tonight
Or about three thirty, yeah
