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 youhey
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

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 cuz 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
