Drunk As Cooter Brown |
He was drunk as Cooter Brown |
Words fell from his tongue |
With a slurring silver sound |
He come this way from the other side of town |
He was drunk as Cooter Brown |
And his coat hung 'round his shoulders |
With a gangster’s tone |
A stylish man no woman leaves alone |
He blamed the warmth of the evening |
I blamed the circle 'round the moon |
We spoke as if in solitude |
While the world was spinning around us And people started to stare |
But I just didn’t care |
I just couldn’t move |
I was was floating on air |
I knew |
We two |
Were drunk as Cooter Brown |
Sooo… |
He blamed the warmth of the evening |
I blamed the circle 'round the moon |
We spoke as if in solitude |
While the world was spreading around us And people started to sing |
I just didn’t care |
I couldn’t move |
We were floating on air |
Yes… |
I knew |
I too |
Was drunk as Cooter Brown |
I was just one step away |
From that drunk to the floor sound |
A lady’s grace |
I claimed to hold my ground |
But I was drunk as Cooter Brown |
While he poured the cup of his hand |
Fell my old beau just to be sure |
I wouldn’t fall for a man like him in June |
I blamed the warmth of the evening |
And he blamed the circle 'round the moon |
We spoke as if in solitude |
While the world was spinning around us And people started to sing |
But I just didn’t care |
I just couldn’t move |
I was floating on air |
I knew |
We two |
Were drunk as Cooter Brown |
Yes, we were drunk as Cooter Brown |
Crazy! |
'Cause… so warm… so warm tonight… |
Drunk as cooter brown… I’m high on life… |
Excuse me sir… |
Humming… |
Hey! |
