Title: Get you gone (How many shots)
words & music by: Charles Kirkland, Jeff Knight, BMI ©2006
1st ver:
It's been 31 days and 13 hours,
since you went your separate way.
The 'D' word's bout to kill me
by tonight I'll have a good day
I usually find myself drowning my soul
right here in my Tonic and Gin
I'll tip my glass and give a toast
I'm drankin to your memory again
Chorus:
One shot don't do much for me
After two I don't feel so lonely
Three shots down I'm snapping my fingers
While four makes the good times linger
Five or six starts to blur my vision
any more and I'll start wishin
I shoulda left your memory at home
how many shots does it take, to get you gone?
2nd ver:
Workin overtime all week long
don't leave much time for play
Having fun's just not on the menu
At the broken heart cafe
I've changed my address to this ole bar
even got a key to get in
The answer's surely just one drank away,
So I'm toasting to your memory again.
Repeat Chor:
Bridge:
Somebody prop me up on this barstool
So I can buy another round
As long as I'm payin their bar tabs
I'm the most lovable fool in town.
Repeat Chor:
Tag:
Tell me how many shots does it take
to get you gone?
