Drinking Man Lyrics - Spirit Of The West

I'm a part of the furniture, this boozer's my home 

I've been here forever, this barstool's my throne 

I'm drinking short whiskeys with a half pint of stout 

I smoke senior service or one of yours when i'm out 

And i'm always out 

The women say i'm foul, the men say i'm harmless 

I'm the source of entertainment and conversation tireless 

The vicar gives me sermons, the young ones give me cheek 

You can read all about me in the bogs on high street 

On high street 

These may seem like wasted years 

Ah, but the stories i could tell 

When these shoulders were broad and strong 

And i served my country well 

I'm not a picture of perfect health 

But i'm feeling no pain today 

So you can fill my glass again 

And i'll grow old my own way 

I've woke up near the barley fields 

Like a sack on the side of the road 

With a belly full of drink, 

And a chill running through my bones 

If i dropped dead tomorrow, 

You'd hear the righteous say 

That iw as not a christian man, 

And i pissed my life away 

That's what they'd say 

-repeat first verse- 

-chorus-
