Drink It Like You Mean It Songtext

von Corb Lund

If you're gonna take that chair and if you're gonna be sittin' there
If you're gonna stay and keep me company
I ain't gonna brook no doubt, we ain't gonna fool about
You gotta drink it like you mean it here with me

Drink it like you mean it, like the serious people do
If you're down and broken hearted and you've got good reason to
Drink it like you mean it to the bottom of the glass
With resolve and strong intention, drink it right down to the last

We ain't gonna nurse nor sip, we're gonna get some past our lips
There ain't gonna be no trace of irony
We ain't gonna nudge nor wink, nor smirk nor smile nor blink
You gotta drink it like you mean it here with me

It ain't no holiday's eve, it ain't the end part of the week
Tonight ain't nothin' special as far as I can see
The amateurs have all gone home, it's just us those of us here alone
You gotta drink it like you mean it here with me
