Pour 'em Kinda Strong Lyrics - Cabin Fever - Corb Lund

Bartender, I know you're a reasonable man 

Looks like you got the run of this place 

Set me up a round so's that I can see your hands 

And wipe the goddamned smile off of your face 

I'm sure you must have heard of me, I'm lightning with my Smith 

And my reputation burns all through the west 

So if you know what is good for you, shut up and get the whiskey 

And not that trade stuff, I want nothin' but your best 

And pour 'em kinda strong 'cause I won't be here long 

You best not do me wrong, just pour 'em kinda strong 

I ain't got time to savour 'em, I gotta drink 'em quick 

I've conveyed my urgency, I hope 

If they catch me it's all over, I'll be way on up the creek 

And I'll be swingin' on the wrong end of a rope 

The posse's been behind me now for six or seven days 

Only two hours back and chewin' on my dust 

I got a powerful thirst I come in here to try to slake 

So serve it up or draw down if you must 

Well I wasn't really watchin' you, my eyes was on the door 

Imagine my surprise to hear the cock 

Of that .32 that left me here to bleed out on your floor 

I'm too far gone to bother with the doc 

Well I wasn't really watchin' you, my eyes was to the east 

You know, to dull the pain I could use one more 

You surely won't deny a man a dyin' drink at least 

I'm awful embarrassed at how I spoke to you before 

So pour 'em kinda strong 'cause I won't be here long 

Mister, please don't do me wrong, just pour 'em kinda strong 

You surely won't deny a dyin' man a drink at least 

I'm awful embarrassed at how I spoke to you before
