MANY HAPPY HANGOVERS TO YOU
(Freed McRae)
Jean Shepard - 1965
You're goin' out again tonight
And you'll end up gettin' tight
Then when your money's gone you'll come crawlin' home to me
You'll think you're quiet as a mouse
As you come stumblin' through the house
And find the note with these parting words from me
Many happy hangovers to you
May your life be blessed with more than a few
Oh, our love can never be
You hold the bottle more than me
Many happy hangovers to you
(Instrumental Break)
When tomorrow's sun comes up
You'll be sicker than a pup
And your bloodshot eyes will look around for me
But you'll find yourself alone
Like the many nights I've known
With only lonely walls for company
Many happy hangovers to you
May your life be blessed with more than a few
Oh, our love can never be
You hold the bottle more than me
Many happy hangovers to you
Many happy hangovers to you
