KING OF ALL THE TAVERNS
(David Wilkins / Tim Marshall)


Little David Wilkins - 1976



I've lost count of the drinks, I've lost track of the time
That ol' jukebox in the corner keeps eatin' up my dimes
That's her song playin' on the jukebox, that's her mem'ry on my mind
She made me king of all the taverns 'cause I give 'em all my time

Once I gave her all my time, couldn't think of nothing else
But since she's gone time's all I have, so I'll spend it on myself
I'll sit here till they lead me out and I'm drunk and running wild
She made me king of all the taverns 'cause I give 'em all my time

I'm the king of all the losers, I'm the best at what I do
If there's any praise a-comin', Lord, I owe it all to you know who
She's made me what I am today, couldn't drink her off my mind
She made me king of all the taverns, now I give 'em all my time

She made me king of all the taverns, now I give 'em all my time
