"The Only Gift That I Need" lyrics

I've got my eye on top shelf liquor
With taste so smooth it
Hits you quicker
But you've only got the well

And I've got an eye for top tier women
With legs so long they go straight to heaven
But this old bunch looks like hell

But tonight I'll take what I can get

I'd like to hear a great musician
With strange ideas and grand ambition
But this guy, he's got trouble with chords

And I'd like to leave this game a winner
Head held high, the luck of beginners
But this old losers crawling out on all fours

But tonight I'll take what I can get

Well this drink will do
And girl you look all right
And this band is playing like hell tonight

These dice are loaded
And Lord I am too
I might be losing but I'm leaving soon

With the prettiest girl
To enter this dump
She drank all of the whiskey but she left me the rum
And tonight I'll take what I can get

I've got my sights on brand new beginnings
Brand new starts make saints of sinners
But I'm doomed to live in my past

Live nude girls says the sign out front
But old dead dreams are dancing in front
Of old dead dreamers with washed up luck
Buying love for cash

Well tonight I'll take what I can get

This old story gets stale and dry
No matter how I try and try
To spin this fable
Fresh and new

You strung me along
Like a tease on prom night
Getting me loose but
Leaving me uptight
Please tell me that
Some of that love was true

Tonight I'll take what I can get

Well this drink will do
And girl you look all right
And this band is playing like hell tonight

These dice are loaded
And Lord I am too
I might be losing but I'm leaving soon

With the prettiest girl
To enter this dump
She drank all of the whiskey but she left me the rum
And tonight I'll take what I can get
