The bartender tells me it's late
Fixing one more for the road
But for me is still too soon
To carry the night's heavy load
I've been drinking, smoking
All night long
But I won't leave here
Until I sing my song
Yes you might not see the reason
Why I'm wasted to the bone
It's not that I love drinking beer and whisky
I just don't like to hang alone
So I'm wishing, hoping
That you can hear my plea
'cause I'm a hungry man
I've got my soul to feed
Another whisky another beer
Another excuse to be here
One smile and then a tear
There's a tear in my glass
A drop of whisky down my eye
Yes, I've been crying
But I'm just about to drink it dry
Though I can't help feeling
That I've been here too many times
I still see the sun come up
And I still pay no mind
For there is nothing I can do
There is nothing I can say
If I'm found lost and blue
In the places where people play
So calm down, take it easy
You better take me as a friend
'cause come sundown
I'll be here again
