Slaid Cleaves - Drinkin Days
Standard tuning
My drinking days are over
No more nights at the Carousel
My buddies say they re gonna miss me but
Who could ever tell
I never knew what time it was
Til closing time came round
My drinking days are over
But I m still troublebound
I used to hang at the Horseshoe
You d see me spinning at the Broken Spoke
I d take my gal to The Gaslight
We lived on whiskey and smoke
Don t know how it all started
Didn t mean to hurt no one
Some bad luck and what s done can t be undone
Well it was way past midnight
Anetta hollered out last call
I turned around and Wranglin Ron
Was headed for a brawl
I didn t know that other guy was a cop
I guess I didn t care
Sometime you gotta act like you gotta pair
My drinking days are over...
I got a ride out to Huntsville
I ll be there for a while
Staring out a mesh window
Mile after mile
I don t have any regrets, well
Maybe just a few
A man s gonna do what he s gonna do
My drinking days are over...
