The Waxies - Drunkard’s Lament

Текст с Bandcamp’а: “Well the only men I trust Are named Jimmy John and Jack And it’s awful hard to run With the devil on your back And I run and I run But I know I don’t get far When the only thing I turn to Is the bottle and the jar I know it isn’t right For to live this way And whiskey is the cure And the cause of all my pain But when I come home And the world has kicked my ass Well it all looks much better From the bottom of a glass This one’s for Jack (Jack!) You’ve always been a friend One for Jimmy (Jimmy!) You’ll be here til the end Another bottle for John (John!) To keep me going strong But above all this one’s for you See I’ve had girls as pure as vodka Some as bubbly as champagne But the only one I’ve loved is stout She takes away my pain But when I come home The pleasantries are few I lie awake And I knock back a few This one’s for Jack (Jack!) You’ve always been a friend One for Jimmy (Jimmy!) You’ll be here til the end Another bottle for John (John!) To keep me going strong But above all this one’s for you Well the only men I trust Are named Jimmy John and Jack And it’s awful hard to run With the devil on your back And I run and I run But I know I don’t get far When the only thing I turn to Is the bottle and the jar This one’s for Jack (Jack!) You’ve always been a friend One for Jimmy (Jimmy!) You’ll be here til the end Another bottle for John (John!) To keep me going strong But above all this one’s for you This one’s for Jack (Jack!) One for Jimmy (Jimmy!) Another bottle for John (John!) But above all this one’s for you But above all this one’s for you from In Pursuit of Dicey Riley, track released October 3, 2009 B.
