YES I GUESS THEY OUGHTA NAME A DRINK AFTER YOU
(John Prine)


John Prine - 1972





Oh, I get drunk most every night
Seems like all we do is fight
The more I drink the less I feel blue
Sometimes I feel like an awful fool
Spendin' my life on an old barstool
And yes, I guess they oughta name a drink after you
............Bloody Mary

If this date were to be our last
I'd never set down this glass
It'd take all the booze in the world to forget you
You've left my heart a vacant lot
I'll fill it with another shot
And yes, I guess they oughta name a drink after you
............Tear Beer

Looks like I had my fill
Guess I better pay my bill
When I started out, I only meant to have a few
Someone just said that you left town
I better get a double round
And yes, I guess they oughta name a drink after you
Yes, I guess they oughta name a drink after you
