Chorus:
What's it take to get a drink in here
I'm seeing everything a little to clear
Got her memory coming on
Pour me something strong
Make it disappear
Here's a twenty pushed up on the bar
Might even leave a little in that jar
That's if you think that you could make it this year
What's it take to get a drink in here
I've been watchin' my watch
The sweep second hand
Keeps a goin' around
Again and again
And soberin' up
Means missin' her love
You're lookin' at a thirsty man
Chorus:
What's it take to get a drink in here
I'm seeing everything a little to clear
Got her memory coming on
Pour me something strong
Make it disappear
Here's a twenty pushed up on the bar
Might even leave a little in that jar
That's if you think that you could make it this year
What's it take to get a drink in here
I ain't here to talk
I ain't here to cry
I got all kinds of time
But I ain't got all night
The enemy of thinkin'
Is serious drinkin'
And I can't afford to lose the fight
(Repeat Chorus)
