Drinking Again
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · Barrooms and Pop-A-Top [RCA] [1973]
(Jack S. Schneider - Claude Southall)
The piano is lonely the crowd left with the band
The dead smoke is settling, I'm drinking again
The barstools are lonely they're my only friends
'Cause they understand why I'm drinking again.
The jukebox is silent no more will it spin
I spent all my money, I'm drinking again
All alone with these mem'ries she's now with my friend
They married this evening, I'm drinking again.

The piano is lonely the crowd left with the band
The dead smoke is settling, I'm drinking again
I'll leave now you're closing but I won't pretend
They'll point and they'll whisper, he's drinking again.
They'll point and they'll whisper, he's drinking again...
