My good friend John Foster in Nashville did a wonderful job on this demo. He plays all the instruments, does all vocals, and wrote the melody. All I did was put a few words down on a piece of paper. Hope you like it.

Lyrics
The More You Drink (Joe Ryan8/2011)
(Verse)
I was sittin in some po dunk bar
Drinkin liquor from a mason jar
And you come struttin in that old front door
I knew that with sufficient time
And some alcohol I’d make you mine
So drink it up I’ll buy you plenty more
(Verse)
You said your boyfriend ran away
Cause he fell in love with his friend Ray
And that you need a man that’s strong and true
Well looking round this train wreck bar
I just may be your lucky star
Quite possibly the best that you can do
(Chorus)
The more you drink
The more good lookin I get
You’re about 3 shooters
From dragging home Brad Pitt
A memory you’re not soon to forget
The more you drink
The more good lookin I get.
(Verse)
Well it’s getting near to closin time
I was thinking bout my closin line
So I asked if I could walk with you back home
Well I may not be no movie star
But here I am and here you are
Just 1 more drink and no one sleeps alone
(Chorus)
The more you drink
The more good lookin I get
Another shot before we go
And you’ll be sleepin with Dicaprio
A memory you’re not soon to forget
The more you drink
The more good lookin I get.
(Bridge)
Oh the white hot passion
On your new kitchenette
Please don’t turn the lights on
We haven’t finished yet
( Repeat Chorus)
