OK, I'ma have to see some I.D. from everybody here, except you huh So what's it gonna be? You all look like whiskey people to me
[Verse 1] Never sick of listening to your problems Your boss threatened that you're gonna lose your job then You fought with your neighbour and he called the cops man Your wife left you and she took the dog, damn! Looks like you came to the right place Take a shot just to wash away the taste We don't know your name but everybody knows your mad face Save that seat for anyone that caught a bad case Every day is overcast, pains in the lower back Bones that you didn't even know you had Not sure but you think your best friend stole your lawn mower ...That would explain why he stopped coming over You ain't seen the doctor in a while Even longer for the dentist, I can tell by your smile Still making payments on a car That's sitting on a spare flat in your backyard Stacks of bills on a messy kitchen counter Ring around the blue-collar cause the hot water heater's down Here, put a couple of these down And sing the blues like they supposed to sound
[Hook] Here comes a beer, catch all your tears Drink the remedy, forget about your problems Here comes a shot, lose all your thoughts Drink the remedy, forget about your problem This one's on me, fix you for free Drink the remedy, forget about everythang This one's on me, got what you need And take your medicine, you'll feel better friend
{And then she said, "Did you put, did you put it in?} Wha-What? {Did you put it in yet?"} You know what? {And I was like, I was like...} You know, I'ma turn the TV on I'ma turn the TV on, I don't want to hear about this
[Verse 2] Used to be you just get in the car and steer All alone, just you and them stars up there Find a highway outside of the gen-pop Turn up the music, go till the engine stops And that's life but with these guy's prices It's cheaper to just drink yourself to sleep, huh Dependency can be your best friend once you know That drugs and alcohol is all you've got that's dependable It's enough to make you wanna huff on paint again And lock you in the bathroom with the Jameson Nah man, come down here and make a friend If you do right, won't remember tonight We still open so have another cold one Until you don't recognise where you woke up And don't throw up, nah hold your liquor My tattoo gorilla be quick to eighty-six ya Now get lost in the river of smoke As it floats towards the ceiling that measures your growth Life is better with a poor memory But don't forget to leave a tip on the bar for the remedy
[Hook]
