All around this town
they've been knockin' me down,
Sayin' I'm a hopeless case.
They've seen me drunk
on the street too many times,
Fallin' down on my face.
I know the drinkin's gotta go,
But it feels so good sometimes,
To reset your mind to the universal time,
and simply let your fleshy body go.
RAISE YOUR GLASS TO ME
'CAUSE I'LL BE QUITTIN SOON
'TIL THEN,
I GOT LITTLE LIVIN LEFT TO DO
Lazy afternoon in the middle of June,
And the sun has been so kind,
Girls are laughing
and wearing next to nothing,
Gotta get that next to mine.
I fill my gla** like I filled up the last,
I know my life is slippin' slowly down the tube,
Soon I'm smilin' and swayin' in the breeze
Of an old familiar tune.
Monday morning, though I've sworn it all off
I find myself at the liquor store,
Just a few to round it all out,
Soon Im back for more.
Six beers and a pack of smokes later
and I'm back on the phone,
Callin' friends all around the world
'Cause I don't wanna?drink alone.
RAISE YOUR GLASS TO ME
'CAUSE I'LL BE QUITTIN SOON
'TIL THEN,
I GOT LITTLE LIVIN LEFT TO DO
