They Oughta Name A Drink After You

from The Prairie by Tom Brosseau

lyrics

Seems like all we do is fight
That's why I go out every night
The more I drink, the less I feel blue
Sometimes I feel like an awful fool
Spending my life on an old barstool
Yes, I guess, they oughta name a drink after you

I don't know how my heart will mend
If this is really the end, it's gonna take a lot to make it through
You left my heart a vacant lot
I'll fill it in with another shot
Yes, I guess, they oughta name a drink after you

I know that I have reached my fill
And I should just go pay the bill
When I began I only meant to have a few
But somebody told me you left town
And here I am with another round
Yes, I guess, they oughta name a drink after you

I don't know how my heart will mend
If this is really the end, it's gonna take a lot to make it through
You left my heart a vacant lot
I'll fill it in with another shot
Yes, I guess, they oughta name a drink after you
