Phil Spillman - Drinkers Thinker Lyrics

They pull up a chair and say I'm here
Keep get me a double
It's been one hell of a week I'm dead on my feet
I need some after work trouble

And that look in their eye
Says I don't need perfection
But before I go home
I need a shot of liquid protection

The salt and the lime keeps them all on time
Their heart beats to a mixer
They whine and they moan before going home
Like I can do something to fix her

Some wounds never heal
And some have new battle scars
I just smile, nod and pour
Cause' I know my part

I'm the drinkers thinker
Serving up wisdom one shot at a time
This one's got a broken heart
This one want's a new start
I tell them life's made for walking so don't drive

The stories repeat from the usual seats
As they swim to the brink
They look for the cure to deal with her
Thinking it's in the drink

Suits or blue jeans
The collar color don't matter
As long as it's beer they're good here
It's the hard stuff that makes them madder

I'm the drinkers thinker
Serving up wisdom one shot at a time
This one's got a broken heart
This one want's a new start
I tell them life's made for walking so don't drive

What can you say to man who slurs
I love you
I wipe down the top, tell him to stop
And say, "Man, I would to

Having a tab isn't so bad
If you've got the bills to cover
Both hands hold tight their glasses each night
Staring down like it's a long, lost lover

Some wounds never heal
And some have new battle scars
I just smile, nod and pour
Cause' I know my part

I'm the drinkers thinker
Serving up wisdom one shot at a time
This one's got a broken heart
This one want's a new start
I tell them life's made for walking so don't drive
