I Say When I Drink What I Think.... Lyrics - Singles - Roger Creager

Roger Creager/Radney Foster 

I say when I drink what I think when I'm sober 

It loosens my tongue and makes me feel bolder 

I'm in the mood to do a little drinking tonight 

Like it or not, this is on my mind 

I could sit here silent or get drunk and confide 

Bar keeper another round and I can't keep it inside 

Excuse Miss, could I buy you a cocktail? 

You're so pretty and I just love the way that you...hey 

Are those real? Huh? Oh, no I mean your eyes, of course 

They're so beautiful and hey, where you going? 

I say when I drink what I think when I'm sober 

It loosens me up and makes me feel bolder 

I'm in the mood to do a little drinking tonight 

Like it or not, this is on my mind 

I could sit here silent or get drunk and confide 

Bar keeper another round and I can't keep it inside 

Roger, there are existential, physical and spiritual reasons 

Why man cannot live by bread alone 

It's not a simple thing in life 

It's very complex, it takes a long time and it's excellent 

What is it, Radney? 

Brisket 

Beer 

I say when I drink what I think when I'm sober 

It loosens my tongue and makes me feel bolder 

I'm in the mood to do a little drinking tonight 

Like it or not, this is on my mind 

I could sit here silent or get drunk and confide 

Bar keeper another round and I can't keep it inside 

Now a friend of mine that drinks an alarming amount 

Tells me it's not what goes in a man's mouth that defiles him 

But rather what comes out 

So as I sit her tonight, I worry not about what I'm drinking 

But rather how much I'm speaking 'cause it seems every time 

I say when I drink what I think when I'm sober 

It loosens my tongue and makes me feel bolder 

I'm in the mood to do a little drinking tonight 

Like it or not, this is on my mind 

I could sit here silent or get drunk and confide 

Bar keeper another round and I can't keep it inside
