[00:11.31]The other night I was on skid row
[00:16.66]By a liquor store sign's garish glow
[00:21.79]I saw a fellow I used to know a long long time ago
[00:32.18]He stood with the lost with the living dead
[00:37.38]With rumpled clothes and a reeling head
[00:42.51]Reviewing the wasted life he'd lead and as I passed he said
[00:52.63]Let me tell you a story that's sad but true
[00:57.78]About someone who just may remind you of you
[01:02.89]Let me tell you a tale that may help you awake a woozy head
[01:10.75]Somebody buy me a drink
[01:17.32]It begins long ago on a happy day
[01:23.61]With a fool who was loved but threw it all away
[01:28.71]Who exchanged a good home for a flop house a bar and a plank
[01:36.52]Somebody buy me a drink
[01:43.10]Well to see me today when I have hit the skids
[01:48.77]Who would think I once had a fine wife and kids
[01:54.60]Yes I was that fool after treasure and pleasure
[01:59.67]And love was just a game played with some other dame
[02:04.07]Now there's only one thing I feel certain of
[02:09.89]The only true treasure in life is love
[02:14.90]Without someone to love and love you see how low you can sink
[02:22.67]Somebody buy me a drink
[02:31.13]Somebody somebody buy me a drink
