Drunken Soldier Lyrics
Keep your head up
And try to listen to your heart
Be kind always, no matter
We all grow up
And someday we'll say goodbye
So shine your light while you got one
Make the most of what you got
Don't waste time trying to be something you're not
Fill up your head
Fill up your heart
And take your shot
Don't waste time tryin' to be something you're not
Once 'round
Just once
Take your shot
Don't waste time trying to be something you're not
You fill up your head
Fill up your heart
Cause that's all we got
Don't waste time trying to be someone you're not
Through your window
Well that's one way to see the world
Step outside and look back into
Look and listen
You decide what to believe
So shine your light while you got one
Make the most of what you got
Don't waste time trying to be something you're not
Fill up your head
Fill up your heart and take your shot
Don't waste time trying to be someone you're not
That's not a star, that's a satellite
Steppin' out
Steppin' out
And try to listen to your heart
Be kind always, no matter
We all grow up
And someday we'll say goodbye
So shine your light while you got one
Don't waste time trying to be something you're not
Fill up your head
Fill up your heart
And take your shot
Don't waste time tryin' to be something you're not
Just once
Take your shot
Don't waste time trying to be something you're not
You fill up your head
Fill up your heart
Cause that's all we got
Don't waste time trying to be someone you're not
Well that's one way to see the world
Step outside and look back into
Look and listen
You decide what to believe
So shine your light while you got one
Don't waste time trying to be something you're not
Fill up your head
Fill up your heart and take your shot
Don't waste time trying to be someone you're not
Steppin' out
Steppin' out

Before playing this song in the encore during the winter 2012 tour @ Barclays, Dave said this is a song you sing to your children and that it was his daughter's favorite song on the album. I instantly knew they were going to play Drunken Soldier because that's exactly what the song always meant to me. I had been playing this song to my daughter on a weekly basis since AFTW was released. We love to jam out to it in the car. Simple message with that nostalgic Pink Floyd vibe...brilliant.
He played this last night at Jones Beach and it is definitely one of favorite tracks next to Belly Belly Nice! I couldn't make any 2012 year end shows... so 6/25 and 6/26 was the first time I heard his new songs... Last nights encore was a tease of Blue Water, Drunken Soldier and the longest and most intense version of Two Step!!!

Easily my favorite song on AFTW
