Draining The Bar Lyrics
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 walkupright
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 girls pick you up when you fall down?
so you go on home and get out 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.
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.
just like my mother and her ma before,
and I was sixteen before I realised that men could walkupright
and open their eyes.
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 girls pick you up when you fall down?
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.
