The Drinking Song (Live on WXJM) Lyrics

I got seven new bruises today

And some bunions that won't go away

When the whistle is blowin'

I know where I'm goin'

St. Arnold will show me the way

Well the kids' got the flu and the wife isn't home

The fridge is runnin' dry

So the kids go to bed

And the wife's probably dead

I'm off to throw back some pints

This is my life in ten years

Drowning in whiskey and beer

I work hard all day and I drink hard all night

This is my life in ten years

I go to the pub on Monday

And I'm back on Tuesday night

I drink all not long

And I sing the same songs

And I always end up in a fight

A barstool cracks down on my forehead

My face runs across the bar

The room is now spinnin'

I thought I was winnin'

Instead I won me a scar

This is my life in ten years

Drowning in whiskey and beer

I work hard all day and I drink hard all night

This is my life in ten years

I've still got more years left to grow

A troublesome life so it seems

Like seasons that change, I have no control

I must say goodbye to my dreams

So here's to the life that's ahead

And this is the way that I see it:

If drinkin' and bar fights is all that's on tap

The good lord must see it fit!

This is my life in ten years

Drowning in whiskey and beer

I work hard all day and I drink hard all night

This is my life in ten years
