Drinkin’ Lyrics by The Cowmen

The Cowmen

2015

[Verse 1 - Doug Austin]
I drink White Lightnin' when the coyotes are out
But them goddamned coyotes won't leave me alone
Mama said, "Son, you know drinking is bad!"
But she had to get drunk to have sex with my Dad!
Glifton, he loves to beat his wife
Thank Christ he married Old Granddad on ice!
Mr. Bartender, don't be so slow
I got time for another, and a six-pack to go!
[Chorus]
If drinkin's a sin, the devil's my friend
So give me a shot of what's left of the gin
If drinkin's a sin, the devil's my friend
So give me a shot of what's left of the gin
Oh, give me a shot of what's left of the gin!
[Verse 2 - Holden McNeely]
I built my house out of beer bottles
But I drank too much whiskey, now it's all broken glass
I went to Tucson to see my old lady
She didn't have a nose, so I drove back home
I don't need housing and I don't need women
I just need a bottle that I can crawl in
Give me a bourbon, or give me a beer
I'd listen to your story, but I cut off my ear!
[Chorus]
If drinkin's a sin, the devil's my friend
So give me a shot of what's left of the gin
If drinkin's a sin, the devil's my friend
So give me a shot of what's left of the gin
Oh, give me a shot of what's left of the gin!
[Verse 3]
My wife got pregnant with a bottle of a Schnapps
The nurse and the doctors, they all called the cops
When they got there, we partied 'till dawn
I named that bottle Paul, Peter, and John
I had my first drink at the age of 3
I picked a bottle from the whiskey tree
I grabbed it and I drank it and I got real drunk
I learned how to cry and I learned how to fuck!
[Chorus]
If drinkin's a sin, the devil's my friend
So give me a shot of what's left of the gin
If drinkin's a sin, the devil's my friend
So give me a shot of what's left of the gin
Oh, give me a shot of what's left of the gin!
Oh, give me a shot of that god damned gin!
