Chorus:
What"s it take to get a drink in here
I"m seeing everything a little to clear
Got her memory coming on
Pour me something strong
Make it disappear
Here"s a twenty pushed up on the bar
Might even leave a little in that jar
That"s if you think that you could make it this year
What"s it take to get a drink in here
I"ve been watchin" my watch
The sweep second hand
Keeps a goin" around
Again and again
And soberin" up
Means missin" her love
You"re lookin" at a thirsty man
Chorus:
What"s it take to get a drink in here
I"m seeing everything a little to clear
Got her memory coming on
Pour me something strong
Make it disappear
Here"s a twenty pushed up on the bar
Might even leave a little in that jar
That"s if you think that you could make it this year
What"s it take to get a drink in here
I ain"t here to talk
I ain"t here to cry
I got all kinds of time
But I ain"t got all night
The enemy of thinkin"
Is serious drinkin"
And I can"t afford to lose the fight
(Repeat Chorus)
What"s it take to get a drink in here
I"m seeing everything a little to clear

That"s if you think that you could make it this year
What"s it take to get a drink in here
I"ve been watchin" my watch
The sweep second hand
Keeps a goin" around
Again and again
And soberin" up
Means missin" her love
You"re lookin" at a thirsty man
