When the Doctor Comes Knockin'

**[Verse]** I went to the doctor, and he said, "Son, there's nothing much left in you." All you’ve got is a cold, cold beer, And a half-smoked cigarette, it's true. **[Verse 2]** You've got decades of booze Running wild through your veins. It's gonna cost you a lot, no doubt, But a country boy like me never complains. **[Chorus]** When the doctor comes knockin', He’s takin' everything. When the doctor comes knockin', He’s takin' everything. **[Verse 3]** He said, "Kid, work for me, And for a week, I’ll help you out. Clean and sweep and mop the floors, And you'll get that cold beer, no doubt." **[Verse 4]** I worked day in and day out, Breaking my back from dusk till dawn, Just to earn that beer break When the week’s hard labor was finally gone. **[Chorus]** When the doctor comes knockin', He’s takin' everything. When the doctor comes knockin', He’s takin' everything.
