[Intro]
And we'll be drinking bourbon and coke, bourbon and coke
So this one time bro, we drinking bourbon and coke, bourbon and coke (yeah)
[Verse 1 - Tom Scott]
What's up bro been a long time how you been
I see you round the bend in my memory
Now and then and wonder where the hell you went
I miss you brother and wish that we could all hang out again
And just for old times we could maybe crack a couple 12%
And stuff we never got to talk about as men plus a bunch of sh**
I should've told you but I held it in and now I feel like if you knew what
I heard you would've never had to do what you did, I should've told you
But I was told a man stands on his own two and never talks about the
Hardships that he goes through, so I kept it all inside of myself
And now I think about you every time I tighten my belt
Help I'm 'bout to blow, drowning in alcohol
I wish these words will probably show you how
We felt about you bro cause I hate to see your mum cry
No one should have to see their son die
So for this one time I'll be drinking
[Hook]
Bourbon and coke, bourbon and coke
Looking back on your life with some words that I wrote, drinking
Bourbon and coke, bourbon and coke
Just watching a lifetime burn into smoke
Drinking bourbon and coke, bourbon and coke
I be high in the sky on the surface I'm hoping, drinking
Bourbon and coke, bourbon and coke
Cause the good die, young gifted and broke
[Verse 2 -Tom Scott]
Drinking Woodstock wishing I could stop time
And rewind to find a way to zap you back alive
But why try revive a life that doesn't want to be?
All that I can do is try to understand your honesty
And realise that I never know what you were going through
Try appreciate how blessed I was to knowing you
And still I tend to think about the man you
Might have grown into if only
You could've broke the chains that were holding you
Whats more only twenty minutes before when you were round at Joe's place
Knocking on his front door had've waited one more and this'd been undone
And no I never would've had to call 111, wouldn't have been up at the
Park like an old drunk bum holding tears talking where we
Were when your mum rung sitting on that same park bench where we once hung
Trying to chop down that f**ing tree that you hung from, drinking
[Hook]
Bourbon and coke, bourbon and coke
Looking back on your life with these words that I wrote, drinking
Bourbon and coke, bourbon and coke
Just watching a lifetime burn into smoke, drinking
Bourbon and coke, bourbon and coke
I be high in the sky on the surface I'm hoping, drinking
Bourbon and coke, bourbon and coke
Live fast, die, young gifted and broke
Drinking bourbon and coke
[Hook + Outro]
And we'll be drinking bourbon and coke, bourbon and coke
So this one time bro, we drinking bourbon and coke, bourbon and coke
It's like the old days you know, drinking
Bourbon and coke, bourbon and coke
Cause the good die, young gifted and broke
