From the recording Sometimes the Characters...
A tribute to a friend of mine who now sips from an ocean of peace. I used my '58 Dan Electro and '60s Guild amp on this one.

Lyrics
Drinking Again
(© 1992 Don McAvoy, MMP, Inc., ASCAP )
* I try to get lost by finding myself
This takes a man through heaven and hell
My feet take me up to the grocery store
I buy cigarettes then I'm off to the bar
I step inside, I see a smiling face
The same people here the night before
I sing 'em some songs and then I pull up a stool
My mouth's getting dry then I start to drool
*** Oh, no here I go again
Uh, oh I'm coin' shots of gin
Let the tap flow and throw my beer down the bend
Oh, no I'm drinking again
* Sometimes I play out to a full crowd
Sometimes silence is the company around
I love what I do or I wouldn't do it all
To some I'm a dreamer to others I'm a fool
A fine young girl, well she compliments
Way before my ego falls
She teaches me things I've never been taught
It's back to her place for romance that's. . . wine bought
**Whiskey, rye or rum
Take me away here I come
Whiskey, rye or rum
Take me away here I come
