[Intro]
[Verse]
In 1940 my grandparents met in a quiet little countrytown
Where the highlanders there once grew corn, before the army burned it down
And girl, don t give me vodka shots, when I got polska on my mind
Lord knows, I get wasted every time
They escaped through the Tatra mountains, almost everything is lost
When they got to the Austrian borders, they had to dig a tunnel to get across
My Grandma was the only member of five kids to survive
Lord knows, she got wasted every time
[Chorus]
Bartender, check please!
Here s the ticket for my cold
Darling, why don t you call us a taxi cab
Think, I gotta go
Don t worry, I ll be fine
I ll just get wasted every time
Wasted every time
[Verse]
Girl, don t bring up other girls I ve had in the past
If skeletons is what you want, well, this ain t gonna last
When it comes to my ex-girlfriends, I think it s the best that you don t ask
Lord knows, we got wasted every time
Just like guys like me here, it doesn t take much more than a song
While you be in here in this atmosphere, well that could stir me wrong
So I think I best get going, cause if I don t get going I m gone
Lord knows, I got wasted every time
[Chorus]
Bartender, check please!
Here s the ticket for my cold
Darling, why don t you call us a taxi cab
Think, I gotta go
Don t worry, I ll be fine
I ll just get wasted every time
Wasted every time
[Outro]
Let s crack a few more bottles of wine
A bottle of Jameson and I ll be fine
Oh girl, I just get wasted every time
