Drink 'til We're Gone Lyrics
life is short
in spite of your plans
so, tell the girls they're pretty while you can
one day they're gone
and all you got left is
some empty bottles and an old country song
that plays on and on
i wasted my time with these cigarettes
and these ashes all i've got left
wash this old town
nothings left for me
washed down stream into the sea
this big ol' river will kill us in time
'til then we'll drink it's weight
in cheap beer and wine
we can drink just as fast as the river is strong
and we'll drink 'til we're gone.
we'll drink 'til we're gone.
life is short

and all you got left is s

Awesome song! It simply means that there is no time to waste and you can do nothing about it; we are just drinking it all away.
haha we sang this in drawing class the other day.
Song is too true...life is too short. Do what you REALLY want to do. Not what your friends, peers, or even family wants you to do. Dont go to school if you dont want a degree, dont work for an asshole just for money, do EXACTLY what you want to do. Never do anything else...trust me. I go to school, trying to be big and make money in my later years, but now i realize I should have stayed home and become a cowboy. just a waste of money and time.
