Incredible Drinking Man

from Too Old To Boogie, Too Young To Die by Dusty Woods

/

about

Pure cry-in-your-beer country ballad with an authentic bar-band sound. He's alone and drunk - but not as drunk as he's going to be.

lyrics

Well, halfway through my second pitcher, fallin' in and out of trouble
Tryin' to work my nerve up to go home.
Another round or maybe two and I'll be seeing double
That's ok, I hate to drink alone

Chorus:
No one can understand the incredible drinkin' man
Tell him by his achin' heart and his shakin' hand
No one can understand the incredible drinkin' man
I am, step right up and see him while you can.

There's a honky-tonk round every corner, Lord, I've seen them all
There ain't that much to say about a barstool;
Set 'em up, I'll knock em back, watch a good man fall;
Reflections in the bottle shows me a fool

(Chorus)

Closin' time, headin' home, tryin' to find my pride
Guess I lost it somewhere along the way.
It don't take long to kill the body when the soul's already died,
I wonder, can it live one more day....

Chorus:
No one can understand the incredible drinkin' man
Tell him by his achin' heart and his shakin' hand
No one can understand the incredible drinkin' man
I am, step right up and see him while you can.
Lord, I am, step right up and see him while you can.
