Drink with Me (original)

Original song written by Skinny Boy Jackson.
DRINK WITH ME TONIGHT

DRINK WITH ME TONIGHT

If you want to drink with me tonight
Sit right down I'll tell you 'bout my life
About the River and Paradise
Railroad tracks and the streets at night

I'll tell you a story about a bear
Make you feel like you were there
Or Falling through the ice I was ten years old
I'll tell you about my friend who pulled me out

I'll tell you 'bout my neighbor how she made the news
All about a horse I never thought would lose
Or my buddy who died too young
I'll tell you about the songs that my family sung

So If you want to drink with me tonight
Sit right down I'll tell you 'bout my life
About the River and Paradise
Railroad tracks and the streets at night

I'll tell you about my dogs and all their names
About swimming and baseball games
About fiddles and guitars
Old Camaro's and dusty barns

I'll tell you 'bout some things that touched my life
i'lll talk about my daughter and my wife
About a Daisy and a Rose
There's some things God only knows


So If you want to drink with me tonight
Sit right down and I'll tell you 'bout my life
About the River and Paradise
Railroad tracks and the streets at night
