Story behind the song
I was on my jogging round down by the waterside,and there is a famous swedish singer/songwriter who often is powerwalking there, ( Ulf Lundell) he quit drinking some years ago and is now a healthy man...nothing strange about that, I see him now and then, but last spring when I passed him, this song just started going on in my head. I had do run home and write it down!
Lyrics
Late down at the public bar I have a blurry mind of beer He leans across the table Asks a question that is clear Never go for a sober man If you are a drunk yourself Never go for a sober man If you are a drunk yourself He wakes me in the morning says let's go for a power walk Now I know that he is crazy Cause I'd throw up if I talked By the time that he gets back I've started crawling out of bed I'm dying for a cold beer He offers carrot juice instead Never go for a sober man If you are a drunk yourself Never go for a sober man If you are a drunk yourself A few lazy hours later It is another foggy day He says come on now honey Let's go to the church and pray Never go for a sober man If you are a drunk yourself Never go for a sober man If you are a drunk yourself Now I've served a drinkers wisdom And you've swalloved it with beer But it's you who are the drunkards here And you have everything to fear You'd better go for a sober man If you are a drunk yourself You'd better go for a sober man If you are a drunk yourself
