Lyrics
" DRANKIN BUSINESS"
( CHORUS)
WELL DRANKIN AIN'T GOT NOTHIN TO DO WITH BUSINESS
THAT'S WHY THEY DON'T SELL LIQUOR AT THE BANK
NAW, DRANKIN AIN'T GOT NOTHIN TO DO WITH BUSINESS
SO MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUSINESS WHILE I DRANK
( VERSE)
WELL I WENT DOWN TO THE BAR TO SEE MY DOCTOR
AND HE PORED ME A PRESCRIPTION FOR THE PAIN
AHH IT DID'NT TAKE BUT A MINUTE
TO GET A GLASS WITH WHISKEY IN IT
AND JUST WHEN IT WAS ABOUT TO HIT MY BRAIN
A YOUNG MAN WALKED UP TO ME WITH A GUITAR
HE SAID "MAN I REALLY THANK I GOTTA HIT"
AND I SAID I DON'T NEED NO DISTRACTIONS
WHILE I'M SITTIN HERE RELAXIN
AND IF I COULD'NT DO BETTER THAN THAT WELL I THANK
I'D QUITE
( REPEAT CHORUS)
(VERSE)
THIS ONE GUY IN THE CORNER HAD A SUITE ON
AND I NOTICED HE KEPT GIVIN ME THE EYE
WELL HE PULLED UP A CHAIR
AND HE ASKED ME IF I CARED AND IF I DID'NT
THEN THE NEXT ROUND HE WOULD BUY
HE SAID HE WAS A BANKER DOWN ON MAIN STREET
AND HE TALKED TO ME LIKE HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND
SAID HE COULD CLIMB THE LADDER
IF HE COULD HANDLE MY MONEY MATTERS
THAT'S WHEN HE KNEW MY PATIENCE HAD WORN THIN
CAUSE I SAID
( REPEAT CHORUS)
( BRIDGE)
WELL I'M SITTIN HERE DOIN FINE
JUST TRYIN TO DRANK THANGS OFF MY MIND
I DON'T MEAN TO BE RUDE TO YOU
BUT I'M TRYIN TO UNWIND
(REPEAT CHORUS)
