What's It Take to Get a Drink in Here Songtext

von Jerry Kilgore

What's it take to get a drink in here?
I'm seeing everything a little too clear
Got her memory coming on
Pour me something strong, make it disappear
Here's a twenty pushed up on the bar
Might even leave a little in that jar
That's if you think that you could make it this year
What's it take to get a drink in here?
I've been watchin' my watch
The sweep second hand keeps a goin' around
Again and again and soberin' up
Means missin' her love
You're lookin' at a thirsty man
What's it take to get a drink in here?
I'm seeing everything a little too clear
Got her memory coming on
Pour me something strong, make it disappear
Here's a twenty pushed up on the bar
Might even leave a little in that jar
That's if you think that you could make it this year
What's it take to get a drink in here?
I ain't here to talk, I ain't here to cry
I got all kinds of time but I ain't got all night
The enemy of thinkin' is serious drinkin'
And I can't afford to lose the fight
What's it take to get a drink in here?
I'm seeing everything a little too clear
Got her memory coming on
Pour me something strong, make it disappear
Here's a twenty pushed up on the bar
Might even leave a little in that jar
That's if you think that you could make it this year
What's it take to get a drink in here?
