When I Feel Weak, I Pour A Strong Drink

from Cowboy Coffee by Alison Self & The Lonesome Lows

/

about

Chrous written drunkenly by Alison Self and Cory Shenk at Clifftop 2013 while sitting on top of a car in the dark watching people square dance in the dirt, making fun of songs that start with the word "well"

I came home and wrote the rest.

lyrics

Well the beers still cold and the liquors still strong
I tried to forget you but I keep hanging on to the glass or the bar
I don't wanna think
So when I feel weak I pour a strong drink

I know it's been months since he walked away
I begged like a dog but he just wouldn't stay
so now this old dog don't beg anymore
i drink and I dance when i don't walk the floor

theres so many men who been catching my eye
i wanna move on and it makes me cry
the only moving I'm doing is from bar to bar
drink till i can't feel then I sleep in my car

If i can just sing out loud enough,
drink whiskey and swear and act like i'm tuff
well then maybe i could just settle down
but i can't so i won't so I'm leaving this town
