Drunk As Cooter Brown Lyrics - Singles - Cassandra Wilson

He was drunk as Cooter Brown 

Words fell from his tongue 

With a slurring silver sound 

He come this way from the other side of town 

He was drunk as Cooter Brown 

And his coat hung 'round his shoulders 

With a gangster's tone 

A stylish man no woman leaves alone 

He blamed the warmth of the evening 

I blamed the circle 'round the moon 

We spoke as if in solitude 

While the world was spinning around us 

And people started to stare 

But I just didn't care 

I just couldn't move 

I was was floating on air 

I knew 

We two 

Were drunk as Cooter Brown 

Sooo... 

He blamed the warmth of the evening 

I blamed the circle 'round the moon 

We spoke as if in solitude 

While the world was spreading around us 

And people started to sing 

I just didn't care 

I couldn't move 

We were floating on air 

Yes... 

I knew 

I too 

Was drunk as Cooter Brown 

I was just one step away 

From that drunk to the floor sound 

A lady's grace 

I claimed to hold my ground 

But I was drunk as Cooter Brown 

While he poured the cup of his hand 

Fell my old beau just to be sure 

I wouldn't fall for a man like him in June 

I blamed the warmth of the evening 

And he blamed the circle 'round the moon 

We spoke as if in solitude 

While the world was spinning around us 

And people started to sing 

But i just didn't care 

I just couldn't move 

I was floating on air 

I knew 

We two 

Were drunk as Cooter Brown 

Yes, we were drunk as Cooter Brown 

Crazy! 

'Cause...so warm...so warm tonight... 

Drunk as cooter brown...I'm high on life... 

Excuse me sir... 

Humming... 

Hey!
