Set 'Em Up, Joe

作词 : Chris Jones

作曲 : Chris Jones

Set'em up Joe, I'll have the same again

I ain't leavin' here until I'm all the way around the bend

Ever since she's gone this single malt seems to be my only friend

Set'em up Joe, I'll have the same again

She did not leave a note and she did not call

What she did leave was me, here with my back against the wall

Everything looks better through this fog of alcohol

I can see to the bottom of this glass, man, and that's all

Set'em up Joe, I'll have the same again

I ain't leavin' here until I'm all the way around the bend

Ever since she's gone this single malt seems to be my only friend

Set'em up Joe, I'll have the same again

You can't run from trouble, that's what they say

And there ain't no use in tryin' to hide in a fifth of that old Islay

I get up every morning, get down on my knees and pray

For any old thing to help me keep this pain a step or two away

They say to me"Chris, you don't need this low-down, smoky bar

Get on with the healing and don't you worry 'bout the scars"

But it ain't no trick and it ain't no Sony, I'm taikin' child-support and alimony

And I do believe I will have myself another jar

Now, it's a cold wind, people don't you know

Especially if you're not quite sure which way that sucker's going to blow

But whichever way it comes will be the way this poor boy's got to go

And that's a hard row to how, people, isn't that so

Set'em up Joe, I'll have the same again

I ain't leavin' here until I'm all the way around the bend

Ever since she's gone this single malt seems to be my only friend

Set'em up Joe, I'll have the same again

Set'em up Joe, I'll have the same again ...
