Lyr Req: Bad Anti-Drinking Country Song

Many years ago, I was living in Astoria, Oregon. We left for a month or so to clean oil spilled by the New Carissa. When we came back, we got drunk...and went from bar to bar....one of which was a strip club named Annie's. The girl there was dancing to some really awful country song. I am unsure of even the name or the artist of this song...it is a talking type country song. The singer is going on about how he was very very drunk and he walks down the road and sees angels or Jesus or something and he finds the lord. The reason why I need this, is because I am writing about my experience there, and need the lyrics to help break up the monotony a bit. I know this is really vague, and I have been searching all over google for this crappy song....and am extremely frustrated...but I know how amazing this group is..and figured why not give it a shot?

Red Sovine has been responsible for some of the worst atrocities committed in the name of country music, so he might be a good place to start.

How about 'Goodbye Booze' from Charlie Poole.

Actually an anti drinking song, but certainly not a bad one. Charlie Poole did great stuff!

Goodbye Booze

written by Charlie Poole

Oh goodbye booze for evermore
My boozing days will soon be o'er
Oh, I had a good time, and we couldn't agree
You see what booze has done for me

She's tore my clothes, she's swelled my head
So goodbye booze, I'm going to bed
Oh, I had a good time, and we couldn't agree
You see what booze has done for me

She swelled my head, she broke my heart
So goodbye booze, we now shall part
Oh, I had a good time, but we couldn't agree
You see what booze has done for me

She whispered low, how sweet it sounds!
Please take another ride on the merry-go-round
Oh, I had a good time, and we couldn't agree
You see what booze has done for me
