3:OO in thee morning and I gotta be someplace,
I don't remember where.
Friends try to make me stay or call me a cab home,
I grab my keys and a beer.

The cops they took my license away,
But I got my car out of impound today.
And I've been drunk since last Saturday,
You'd better stay outta my way!

(Chorus)
I drink and drive!
Feel so alive,
I'll never take that dive.
Feel so alive,
I'm doing 95.
I drink and drive,
I feel so alive
I drink and drive!

Early in the morning and the freeway's deserted,
Like it's all mine.
I'm trying to sey a new drunken speed record.
But I can't drive a straight line.
Flashin' lights,
Split the night,
I'm tossing bottles as I swerve to the right.
Now I've slammed my face into the back of a big rig,
At least you'll never catch me you fucking pigs!

Designate someone other then me,
I'm so drunk I can hardly see.
Another shot of Jagar and I turn the key,
I got so many places to be.

(Chorus)
I drink and drive!
Feel so alive,
I'll never take that dive.
Feel so alive,
I'm doing 95.
I drink and drive,
I feel so alive
I drink and drive!

When I'm on a binge,
My friends all cringe
They won't drive at night.
Cause the way I tear up the freeway is such a fright,
But I think I drive alright.

The cops they took my license away,
But I got my car out of impound today.
And I've been drunk since last Saturday,
You'd better stay outta my way!

(Chorus)
I drink and drive!
Feel so alive,
I'll never take that dive.
Feel so alive,
I'm doing 95.
I drink and drive,
I feel so alive
I drink and drive!

When I'm on a binge,
My friends all cringe
They won't drive at night.
Cause the way I tear up the freeway is such a fright,
But I think I drive alright.

    General Comment:I'm just gonna say this: WHY DO PEOPLE COMPARE OFFSPRING TO GREEN DAY AND SUM-41 AND BLINK 182???!!! THOSE BANDS HAVE NO TALENT! the green day version sucks and is a rip off of the theme. and those other bands are just pop. OH AND THIS IS AN AMAZING SONG! If anyone wants to get it, buy the HAPPY HOUR compatilation. IT has a bunch of rare songs. oh and I like joke songs, but it at least has to be catchy or funny... and green days is stupid, predictable and not even catchy.

    OH and by the way, NOodles wrote this song.

    General Comment:I don't see why everyone's fighting so much. I mean, great, there are two songs with the same name by two unique Punk bands (well, one Pop Punk band). Everyone has different taste; personally I prefer this D.U.I. But there are plenty that like Green Day's better. People have different tastes. Let's live with that.

    Aside from that, DANG this song is catchy. I had my iPod on shuffle but when this played I put it on repeat. These guys rock; all the extra songs on their singles are amazing like Sin City from Million Miles Away. Noodles lives in my heart as with Dexter, Greg, and Pete. Love them!!

    General Comment:Green Day's DUI sounds very strange and reminds me of Austrian folk music. That's pretty weird...
    I like both songs, and I don't think one of the bands is better than the other!

    General Comment:sing to yourself the tune of the chorus of P.O.D's "alive" with the words to the chorus of this song. Funny huh?

    General Comment:I noticed /\/\/\/\ that post was from 2k3.

    I would've agreed with you last year, but now, I think Green Day is back and kicking ass again. At least George Bush has done one thing good...
