You wanted a drink
So you went to the bar
With all of the grace
Of a tireless car
Turning tables over
And then skidding ‘cross the floor
Asking for some bourbon
And then tumbling out the door
No need to be thrown out
You took care of that yourself
The bourbon stayed right where it was
Securely on the shelf
I picked you back up
And the night carried on
You wouldn’t stop singing
Your favorite songs
