Draining The Bar |
| This time you went just a little too far |
| Now I don’t mind picking you up from some bar |
| And I’m used to dealing with the ways of most men |
| But I won’t come and get you from the jailhouse again |
| Now I’ve sat and watched men fall drunk on the floor |
| Just like my mother and her ma before |
| And I was sixteen before I realised that men could walk upright |
| And open their eyes |
| Gin, whisky, don’t bother me none |
| But you’re so darn proud of the things that you’ve done |
| If you’re such a man with such sorrows to drown |
| Well how come there’s always some girl picks you up when you fall |
| Down? |
| So you go on home and get your guitar |
| Write some more songs about draining the bar |
| And if I’m so wise, why don’t I show you the door? |
| Cause you make me laugh |
| And maybe that’s what God made men for |
