The Drinkin’ Song

(copyright 1991)

Ladies and gentlemen…
Step right up…
Clap your hands…
Raise your glasses…
Cause this is a little song…
Called…
The Drinkin’ Song !

Ya know can’t understand it
Can’t get a handle on a love that fades away
I’m here drinkin’, can’t stop thinkin’
‘Bout the man sleeping in your bed

Don’t understand it
How am I to mange
All the pain behind these years
You’re still thinkin’
So I’m still drinkin’
Trying to chase these blues away

You won’t ask me
But if you think I’m leaving you’re wrong

Sittin’ at the bar
Trying to get another shot
Cold Jack and water maybe gin on the rocks
Pour me another tequila senorita
‘Cause my baby’s been gone so long

You won’t ask me
But if you think I’m leaving you’re wrong

Sittin’ at the bar
As your memory starts to fade
Along comes a woman
And she’s lookin’ my way
High heels, tight skirt way above the knee
Red lips pouting
Cause she’s ready for me

You won’t ask me
But if you think I’m leaving you’re wrong

(Elvis style break down)…..
Well a huh a huh a huh a huh
Huh ah huh a huh
a huh a huh a huh a huh
Huh a huh a huh a huh

We’re gonna get down, gonna get on down
We got get down, gonna get around
Give me one more more
Give me one more shot
Baby baby baby
Give me one more shot !

You won’t ask me
But if you think I’m leaving you’re wrong.
