Carry Me Home
♫ AC/DC Lyrics

The bartender's working on a late night shift
The bartender is working late at night, serving drinks to customers.

Cheap bums and blondes and barmaids on a midnight drift.
Cheap drunks and women who work in the bar are wandering around aimlessly in the middle of the night.

And the dance band's playing the same old slam
The band is playing the same old, unexciting music.

I'm sinking whiskey and you're sipping fine wine
I am drinking cheap whiskey and you are drinking expensive wine.

I don't know what it is you're trying to prove
I am confused about your intentions or motivations.

Well it should be you but it's me who can hardly move
You should be the one who is drunk and having difficulty moving, but it is actually me.

And I've got my reputation lying on the line
My reputation is at risk or in danger.

Come on baby, be a good dog and help the blind
I am asking you to be helpful and support me like a loyal dog would support a blind person.

Oh won't you carry me home
Please help me get home safely.

You ain't no lady but you've sure got taste in men
You may not be a refined or polite lady, but you have good taste in choosing men.

That head of yours has got you by time and time again
Your head or your thoughts have created problems for you repeatedly.

My arms and legs are aching and my head's about to blow
I am exhausted and my head is hurting.

And your back's been breakin' and I'd hate to spoil the show
You have been carrying me and I do not want to ruin your night or your experience.

But I've just spent next weeks wages and I'm right out of coin
I have spent all the money I had saved for the next week and have no more money left.

But you want more and it's half past four and they want to close the joint
You want to keep drinking and it is already late in the night and the bar is closing soon.

But we can't afford a taxi, and it's too late for the bus
We cannot afford to take a taxi home and it is too late to catch a bus.

But I've been told by friends of mine you're someone I can trust
My friends have told me that I can trust you to help me get home safely.

You drank all your booze and half of mine
You have consumed all of your own alcohol and half of mine as well.

I'm bleary eyed and you're waiting for the sunshine (to come and kill me)
I am feeling tired and disoriented, while you are patiently waiting for the morning to come and for me to recover.

Just like the man who threw me on the floor
Similar to the man who threw me on the floor earlier in the night.

Don't matter, while I'm down here I might as well try and find the fucking door
I do not care about my current situation, but rather I am more focused on trying to find my way out of the bar.

Excuse me, have you seen it? it's about this big
I am asking for help in finding the door, and trying to describe its size or location.

And have you got a plastic bag 'cause I'm gonna be sick
I am asking for a plastic bag in case I need to vomit.

I'm dead drunk and heave'n hanging upside down
I am so drunk that I feel like I am hanging upside down.

And you're getting up and leaving, you think I'm gonna drown
You are getting up to leave, perhaps because you think I am going to get sick or be unable to take care of myself.

Oh won't you carry me home
Once again, I am asking for your help to get me home safely.

Yeah carry me home
The chorus repeats the same request for help.
