When I get dragged down by the problems of the day
I watch my inspiration as it slips away
I start to think about the things that are goin' fine
I'm feelin' sorry and I start to drinkin' wine

I got the feelin', from drinkin' wine I get to reelin'
I start forgettin', whoa 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
But I get tense, it seems that things are closin' in
I feel I must escape and that's when I begin

I got the feelin', from drinkin' wine I get to reelin'
I start forgettin', whoa 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
'Cause 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 and count the bottles that I've used
Or take more heat in what I say than what I do
You can enjoy but you must know how much to do

I've got the feelin', from drinkin' wine I get to reelin'
I start forgettin', whoa, my, I get to reelin'
I got the feelin', from drinkin' wine I get to reelin'
I start forgettin', whoa, my, I get to reelin'

Oh, my, I get to reelin'
From drinkin' wine I get to reelin'
Whoa, whoa, I get this feelin'
From drinkin' wine I get to reelin'
Whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa
From drinkin' wine I get to reelin'
(Get that feelin')
I get this, get this feelin'
(Get that feelin')
Drink too much wine, I get to reelin'
(Get that feelin')
From drinkin' wine I get to reelin'
(Get that feelin')
Whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa
(Get that feelin')
From drinkin' wine I get to reelin'
(Get that feelin')
Feelin', feelin'
(Get that feelin')
From drinkin' wine I get this feelin'
(Get that feelin')
Oh, ooh, whoa, yeah
(Get that feelin')
Whoa, I get to reelin'
(Get that feelin')
