Upbeat tale of my ever present drinking problem.Thanks to John,Rich,and Jerry of "Pass the Hat" for backing me on this one.Nice solo John!
A bunch of old farts playing with our toys.Sometimes it's music,sometimes it's noise.PLAY!!!
I am currently playing in a part time working band called Johnny Ringo and the Wanted.We play a mix of covers and originals with a country blues flavor.My tastes run from classic rock to blues rock to rockabilly.I am using this page to showcase some of my original work.
Story behind the song
This song was recorded with my former bandmates in "Pass the Hat".Thanks to the guys for giving it thier all.
Lyrics
I AIN’T DRUNK - Dave Ise
- - - - - INTRO ( Guitar only ) - - - - -
I GOT A LITTLE STORY, HERE’S HOW IT GOES.
BUT FIRST A WORD OF WARNING, DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME.
I WAS OUT ONE NIGHT, HANGIN' WITH THE BOYS,
DOWNIN’ MARTINIS 'TIL THE EARLY, EARLY LIGHT,
I YELLED TO THE BARKEEP, ”ANOTHER ONE PLEASE”,
HE SAID “THINK AGAIN, NOW GIMME YOUR KEYS”.
CHORUS:
I SAID I AIN’T DRUNK……I’M JUST DRINKIN’
I AIN’T DRUNK…………….I’M JUST DRINKIN’
I AIN’T DRUNK…………….I’M JUST DRINKIN’
I AIN’T DRUNK…………….I’M JUST DRINKIN’
I DON’T DRINK ANYMORE, BUT I DON’T DRINK ANY LESS
I STUMBLE HOME, WAY PAST THREE,
MY WOMAN IS AWAKE, AND WAITIN’ FOR ME,
I HESITATE, TO OPEN THE DOOR,
‘CAUSE I'M PRETTY SURE, JUST WHAT’S IN STORE,
I SAID HOLD ON HONEY, BEFORE YOU LAY BLAME,
WAIT A MINUTE NOW, AND LET ME EXPLAIN.
- - - - - CHORUS - - - - -
- - - - - GUITAR SOLO - - - - -
ALARM CLOCK RINGS, TWO HOURS LATER,
BUT I DON’T HERE IT, I’M A COUCH PATATA,
WORK STARTS AT SEVEN, BUT I SLEEP ‘TILL ELEVEN,
AT WORK BY LUNCH, BUT THE BOSS HAS A HUNCH,
HE CALLS ME IN HIS OFFICE, TO SETTLE THE SCORE,
HE SAYS, GO HAVE ANOTHER DRINK, YOU DON’T WORK HERE NO MORE.
- - - - - CHORUS - - - - -
- - - - - FINISH same as INTRO - - - - -
