lyrics

Girl, you've been up all night on Benzedrine
You got looks from your mama, your daddy taught you to drink
My tolerance is low, my memories are few
But darlin' tonight I'll be drinkin' bout you
Yeah darlin' tonight I'll be drinkin' bout you

Well, your perfume's enough to sober me up
And the taste from your lips, it used to get me drunk
But now what do I drink when the liquor store's closed
And this empty bottle is all I have to hold?

Well, the city's in shambles as the seasons shed their skins
And you've been making drinkers out of sober men
I got some rotgut wine that I’ve been nursing all day
It's in a brown paper bag, it tastes better that way

Girl, you've been up all night on Benzedrine
You got looks from your mama, your daddy taught you to drink
My tolerance is low, my memories are few
But darlin' tonight I'll be drinkin' bout you
Yeah darlin' tonight I'll be drinkin' bout you

In the town of my kinfolk, the riverbed's dry
But I've heard tales of a stream that runs whiskey and wine
I had a dream last night of a mountain town
Where I found that stream and drank till I drowned
