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! |
