Yes, I Guess They Oughta Name A Drink After You (by John Prine)

A barfly's lament... "you've left my heart a vacant lot... I'll fill it with another shot..."
What a great title. Long live John Prine. Lyrics:

I get drunk most every night
Seems like all we do is fight
The more I drink, the less I feel blue
Sometimes I feel like an awful fool
Spending my life on this ol' barstool
And yes, I guess, they oughta name a drink after you

If this date were to be our last
I'd never sit down this glass
It would take all the booze in the world
To forget you
Someone just said that you left town
I better have another round
And, yes, I guess, they oughta name a drink after you

Well, I guess I've had my fill
Guess I oughta pay my bill
When I started out I only meant to have a few
But someone just said that you left town
I'd better get a double round
And yes, I guess, they oughta name a drink after you
