"Social Drinkers" lyrics

"Social Drinkers"

Another night with a bitter end
And I've been drinking alone again
Just thinking 'bout some old friends and some used to be's
I ain't ever gonna change the sound
Up here living on the higher ground
Nobody ever comes around but I like it that way

In my new reality
Where the truth is plain to see

That I miss old winos and social drinkers
Good time friends and perfect strangers
Cheating husbands, lonely wives
I miss five-piece bands
And one-night stands
Oh what I'd give for last call and some smoke in my eyes

I still think about an empty glass
A stack of chairs and an open tab
And maybe a yellow cab if you're lucky
And making deals in the parking lot
Where you sell me what you got
And never a whole lot left after closing time

One more round of the third degree
Where you been boy? Who'd you see?

Just some old winos and social drinkers
Good time friends and perfect strangers
Cheating husbands, lonely wives
And a five-piece band
Getting out of hand
Oh what I'd give for last call and a little smoke in my eyes
In my eyes

Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Lies the man I used to be

Out with the old winos and social drinkers
Good time friends and perfect strangers
Cheating husbands, lonely wives
And I want one more song
Before the lights come on
Oh what I'd give for last call and a little smoke in my eyes

I miss old winos and social drinkers
