Here's the lyrics (reprinted below for the lazy among us).

You Were Drunk
(right click, "save as")
Well, I thought I'd be okay,
Walking on my lonesome way,
Then you came to the neighborhood bar,
And while Timmy played guitar,
Won me with a smile so bright,
That I thought I'd be alright.
And you kissed me one sweet night,
And you pulled me close and tight,
Then you told me one sweet lie,
And I knew right then that I,
Was a poor man's answered prayer -
You were drunk and I was there.
Oh, my God,
Oh, my heart.
I'm no maiden fair,
You were drunk and I was there.
And a better girl than I,
Would have hung you out to dry.
But I took you to my bed,
And I crumbled when you said,
"Baby, please don't make me wait...please...."
Oh, my God,
Oh, my heart.
I'm no maiden fair,
You were drunk and I was there.
And a better man than you,
Would have seen the ugly truth.
Would have known that I really liked you.
Would have known,
Would have never come home,
Would have never tried,
Would have never lied to my heart.
Well, I thought I'd be okay,
Maybe good love would come my way,
Then you told me one sweet lie,
And I know right now that I'm,
Just a poor man's answered prayer - please ...
Oh, my God,
Oh, my heart.
I'm no maiden fair,
You were drunk and I was there,
You were drunk and I was there.

What fantastic lyrics!
ReplyDeleteThis is my new theme song.
In fact, it almost precisely describes my day yesterday, and the day before, and the day before that...
What does a guy have to do to get a jack and coke? Go all the way to New Jersey?
