• Somebody Buy Me A Drink

The other night out along the skid row
Beneath a liquor store sign's garrish glow
There stood a fellow that I used to know a long, long time ago

He stood with the lost and all the living dead
With rumpled clothes and a reeling head
Reviewing the wasted life he'd lead and as I passed he said

Hey, let me tell you a story, it's sad but true
Hey, let me tell you a story, it may remind you of you
Hey, let me tell you a tale and try to help you to wake up and think
Somebody buy me a drink

It begins long ago on such a happy day
With a fool who was loved but he threw that love away
Who exchanged a good home for the flop house, for the bar room and the clink
Somebody buy me a drink

Well, to see me today that I have hit the skids
Who'd think, at one time, I had a fine wife and kids?
Yeah, I was that fool out after treasure and pleasure
Hey, love was just a game, I played it with some other dame

There's only one thing, in this life, I feel certain of
The only true treasure in life is love
Without love and someone to love you, gonna see how low you can sink
Hey, somebody buy me a drink

Well, somebody, somebody buy me, a drink
