Hey bartender, that's a lovely beer, Did she love me not? Did she love me dear? I can't ravel back an unraveling mind, But if I take that drink I can travel in time.
Back in the days of summer, Flaming and blissful, Me and you, a stamen and pistil, Love be lofty, love be risky, But if she won't have me You can love me whiskey.
I'm holding out hope for a sober cure, A way, a way, Way to forget should I know for sure.
I'm ready to go home and sink in the bunk, Good boys don't get stinking and drunk, I can't find the fun in my sober living, When there's no forgetting and such slow forgiving.
I'm holding out hope for a sober cure, A way, a way, A way to forget should I know for sure.
Hey Barnett, I'd have a final shot, I don't care if I'll be fine or not, Someday you can find me sober, But tonight I'm a five-leaf clover.
I'm holding out hope for a sober cure, A way, a way, A way to forget should I know for sure, I'm holding out hope for a sober cure, A way, a way, A way to forget should I know for sure.
