I keep drinking doubles Til I'm finally broke Then go back to my girlfriends To sing some songs I wrote I sing about waitin But she's not hearing me She wants some committment not some guitar player's plea's So I'm drinking once again tonight Wishin I didn't wanna change Booked for life on a dreamer's flight I usually fly away But I see a need in her eyes That I just can't explain She looks for me in the morning light And I'm there everyday I leave to find another drink Lookin for a quick way out So I tab'em at my favorite bar To flush away my doubts. I tried to love her my way But she needs more than rhymes She don't need a minstrel With wandering on his mind So I'm drinking once again tonight Wishin I didn't wanna change Booked for life on a dreamer's flight I usually fly away But I see a need in her eyes That I just can't explain She looks for me in the morning light And I'm there everyday I gotta fight my instinct To follow the changing moon Got my guitar at my feet Can hear it playin a tune So I keep drinkin doubles To set my mind at ease Longing for the open road Can't force myself to leave So I'm drinking once again tonight Wishin I didn't wanna change Booked for life on a dreamer's flight I usually fly away But I see a need in her eyes That I just can't explain She looks for me in the morning light And I'm there everyday Ain't doin nothin at all |

Then put down that drink and sing the little lady a love song! Well done. Chris Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale. |
