Written by Dewey Bunnell, ©1980

Found on Alibi.

Who's that knockin' on my door this mornin'

Can't they see I'm dead

There ain't nothin' left to do this mornin'

'Cept to make it to my bed

I was out till all hours

Raisin' Cain once again

I don't care about the hours

Only how much did I spend

'Cause I got a hangover

I won't make it through the day

I got a hangover

So just leave me where I lay

I started slow after sundown

I tiptoed right up till ten

Then after while I went downtown

It was the beginning of my end

Now I got a hangover

I won't make it through the day

I got a hangover

So just leave me where I lay

Oh, how am I gonna stake my claim on the future

When I cannot lift my head

Oh, I ain't nothin' but a drunken loser

And my liver's overfed

'Cause I got a hangover

I won't make it through the day

'Cause I got a hangover

So just leave me where I lay

Now I got a hangover

I won't make it through the day

'Cause I got a hangover

So just leave me where I lay

So just leave me where I lay
