"How About A Drink?" lyrics

Now if I'm being honest
I thought that true love was
A thing of the past

Just for the weekend
Maybe a season
Nothing lasts
You can let it drive you mad
But sometimes it is simple as

How about a drink?
Would that be alright?
I had a smoke
She had a light
I didn't think
Much at the time
But "how about bout a drink?"
Turned to a hell of a drink
Turned to a hell of a night

Clothes that fell to the floor
Are now tucked in a drawer
Table set for two
And I tell stupid jokes to win over
Your folks and hope they approve

Looking back I'm just really glad I asked

How about a drink?
Would that be alright?
I had a smoke
She had a light
I didn't think
Much at the time
A shot in the dark
Drop of a line
But now all her things hang up next to mine
And there's two cars parked in the drive
I didn't think much at the time
But "how about a drink?"
Turned to a hell of a drink
Turned to a hell of a night

And I know you're supposed
To take it slow I know I know
Could it be as simple

As how about a drink?
Would that be alright?
I saw a spark a light in your eyes
I didn't think much at the time
They say not to blink or it passes you by
Cuz now all her things hang up next to mine
And one day they'll play in the yard outside
While we sit in think back to that night
When "how about a drink?"
Turned to a hell of a drink
Turned to a hell of a life
