Lyrics

Have another drink, he said
And cracked a crooked grin
Your troubles take to fadin? with your second fifth of gin
If it was up to me, I said, I?d buy this damn saloon
To drink my honey off my mind, yes I?d throw back a few

I?d met her on the island
Pumpin? diesel for her car
Whoever thought a legal education?d go so far?
She popped the tank and tossed the keys
And said, ?fill it to the brim?
I?d like to say I topped her off, but that?d be a sin
So I said

Throw me off my barroom stool
Sing a Jim Beam lullabye
?Cuz drinkin? might not cure my ills
But it never hurts to try

Then she drove me back up to her house
Poured a vodka rum and gin
I?ve never had a woman or a drink that strong again
But Lovett?s on the radio and the Duke was on the box
And underneath that great big sky we made lovin? on the rocks
And I cried

Chorus

Rock-a-bye baby, on the bar floor
If the wind blows, well babe, I?ll just snore
And when the bough breaks, well I?ll be just fine
With a shot of tequila, salt?and some lime

Well she left me down in Georgia
At the crazy horse saloon
It?s how I learned a simple lesson
That I must share with you
If your little darlin? leaves you dangling by a thread
Just remember that a good old draft of beer gave better?

Chorus and fade
