Josh Rister - If I Was a Drinker
00
Copied!
(Pre-Chorus 1)
It’s long nights like these that help me understand
That well-worn affair ‘tween bottle and man
Some fella’s down whiskey, be it bourbon or rye
While us sober folks sit and feel like we’re dying
(Chorus)
If I was a drinker, I’d be a few glasses deep
Trying not to drown, let it lull me to sleep
Tap that bottle’s shoulder just itchin’ to fight
Pray he knocks me out til’ I see the daylight
I’ll shake off that devil whispering in my ear
And stay up all night wishing you were here
Time spent wasted helps nobody no how
But if I was a drinkеr, I’d be drinking right now
(Pre-Chorus 2)
I could wash out that sorrow, sail towards bettеr days
Let that old whiskey river carry me on away
But my daddy done warned me about ramblin’ around
And I guess every good thing, it’s gotta’ wind down
(Chorus)
If I was a drinker, I’d be a few glasses deep
Trying not to drown, let it lull me to sleep
Tap that bottle’s shoulder just itchin’ to fight
Pray he knocks me out til’ I see the daylight
I’ll shake off that devil whispering in my ear
And stay up all night wishing you were here
Time spent wasted helps nobody no how
But if I was a drinker, I’d be drinking right now
(Refrain)
I guess it’s just something my poor heart won’t allow
But if I was a drinker, I’d be drinking right now
It’s long nights like these that help me understand
That well-worn affair ‘tween bottle and man
Some fella’s down whiskey, be it bourbon or rye
While us sober folks sit and feel like we’re dying
(Chorus)
If I was a drinker, I’d be a few glasses deep
Trying not to drown, let it lull me to sleep
Tap that bottle’s shoulder just itchin’ to fight
Pray he knocks me out til’ I see the daylight
I’ll shake off that devil whispering in my ear
And stay up all night wishing you were here
Time spent wasted helps nobody no how
But if I was a drinkеr, I’d be drinking right now
(Pre-Chorus 2)
I could wash out that sorrow, sail towards bettеr days
Let that old whiskey river carry me on away
But my daddy done warned me about ramblin’ around
And I guess every good thing, it’s gotta’ wind down
(Chorus)
If I was a drinker, I’d be a few glasses deep
Trying not to drown, let it lull me to sleep
Tap that bottle’s shoulder just itchin’ to fight
Pray he knocks me out til’ I see the daylight
I’ll shake off that devil whispering in my ear
And stay up all night wishing you were here
Time spent wasted helps nobody no how
But if I was a drinker, I’d be drinking right now
(Refrain)
I guess it’s just something my poor heart won’t allow
But if I was a drinker, I’d be drinking right now
