Lyrics
It's been a long hard day and I'm here to stay
Until the tap runs dry
And if I rest my head, don't assume I'm dead
'Cause I'm not prepared to die
CHORUS:
Hey there brother, pour me another
Whiskey Sour please
Heed my advice, hold the ice
And take away my keys
No, I'm not prepared to die, over whiskeys, drafts and rye
And I'm not the soul you'd likely want to save
But I'll gladly have another, to toast my darling mother
'Cause I'm not quite ready for the grave
CHORUS:
Hey there brother, pour me another
Whiskey Sour please
Heed my advice, hold the ice
And take away my keys
(Instrumental interlude)
CHORUS:
Hey bartender, I'm on a bender
Bring me to my knees
Take my advice, forget the ice
And take away my keys
And if my speech sounds slurred
And my vision's blurred
You better call me a cab
I'll write 'em a check, or better yet
Just put it on my tab
Yeah if you know what's best
Do like the rest, and take away my keys
I said hey there brother, pour me another
And take away my keys
Take my advice, hold the ice
And take away my keys
