The Watering Hole

from The Watering Hole Stories by Jonny Luck

lyrics

Well, the bartender doesn't know my name, but he remembers what I drink,
Sit down at his counter, he slides over a vodka to help me think.
"Put it on my tab," I say, "and get yourself one too,"
"Cos them vodka shots served cold will make you feel brand new."
Smoke rings fill the air around me, my shot glasses stood in a smile,
I never want to know the time, no, my watch she bares no dial.
And I don't care about my job, no I don't care about yours too,
Cos in the morning I'll be fucking drunk, and I swear, oh yes I swear, that I've forgotten...

I don't need to find someone that makes me feel whole,
All I ever needed was my own watering hole.
I don't need to find someone that makes me feel alright,
All I need's a drink, yeah when the day, oh, when the day it turns to night.
It turns to night
It turns to night
It turns to night

Yeah life's too short to be miserable, when you're drinking by the moon,
And if you're not living on the edge, well you're taking up too much room.
I said life's too short to wear a constant frown,
So get liquored up with some spirited shot, when you feel down.
And I don't care about my job, no I don't care about yours too,
Cos in the morning I'll be fucking drunk, and I swear, oh yes I swear, that I've forgotten...
