Rob McGregor - Pints Of Guinness Make You Strong lyrics

[Verse 1] Evelyn sits by the elevator doors It's been 37 years since James died on St. Patrick's Day in 1964 She could not hold it against him There were times when there was nothing she could do But lie in bed all day beside a picture of them together A picture of better days [Chorus] And just like James, I'll be drinking Irish tonight And the memory of his last work week will be gone forever Evelyn, I'm not coming home tonight If we're never together If I'm never back again Well, I swear to God that I'll love you forever Evelyn, I'm not coming home tonight [Verse 2] In all the years that went by she said She'd always love him And from the day that he died She never loved again And in his wallet she kept on her nightstand An AA card and a lock of red hair Kept secrets of pride locked so tight in her heart It k**ed a part of her before the rest was gone [Bridge] She said: "If I would have known just how things would have ended up I just would have let myself die" [Hook] And just like James, I'm drinking Irish tonight And the memory of his last work week will be gone forever Evelyn, I'm not coming home tonight If we're never together If I'm never back again Well, I swear to God that I'll love you forever Evelyn, I'm not coming home tonight
