A song I wrote, the "drink" covers, horse, dope, smack, and junk too! I been there, done it, a whole bunch of times! Anyway for a freakin' virtual bar;
I DON'T DRINK NO MORE
By WILLY SENKIWSKY 11/24/04 9:30 p.m. G-Harp, Key of D, Slow Shuffle
I started drinking as a child
Uncles gin and Camels was my style
I slept it off then; was too young to go wild!
I drank to get incoherent
The older I got wilder I went
I'd go to a bar with money leave without a cent
(Spoken: And wonder who left the dents? In my car, head, etc.?)
(Chorus)
To me I'll just have one drink today
Is like sayin, I'll only stick it in half way!
When I start drinkin ain't no way to stop
Which is how I got to know a few cops!
I got tired of being on the outside of open doors
And being wounded though I never been to war
All of this and more is why I don't drink no more! :angry:
I now know that I can't take even one sip
Some say you can't teach a dog new tricks
I'll bet ya the dog never woke up with a fat lip!
(Spoken: And not able to remember who or why it's there!)
(Chorus:)
To me I'll just have one drink today
Is like sayin, I'll only stick it in half way!
When I start drinkin ain't no way to stop
Which is how I got to know a few cops!
At a bar I'd tell the tender; shut up and pour
I need a drink to relax just makes me snore
I drank to get drunk; but I don't drink no more!!!...
