Lyrics Drunkards Lament - The Real McKenzies

Drunkards Lament

I should’ve guessed
It’d be a little bit like this
Empty wallet, empty bottle, empty time
Never took the time to think
Where I’d be getting my next drink
The highway sings the same lullaby
Did Stompin' Tom see the same void of the prairies
Did Gord and Murray share this kind of view
4,000 miles, as many towns, till I come back to you
I should’ve guessed
It’d be a little bit like this
Empty wallet, empty bottle, empty time
Never took the time to think
Where I’d be getting my next drink
The highway sings the same lullaby
I should’ve guessed
It’d be a little bit like this
The highway sings the same lullaby
The highway sings the same lullaby
The highway sings the same lullaby
