BEER CHASER

CHORUS

Bring me another beer chaser
Another Bloody Mary’s goin’ down
I know it might seem early
But I booked the first flight out of town
That baby of mine found another man
And I ain’t stickin’ around
So bring me another beer chaser
Another Bloody Mary’s goin’ down

VERSE

We came out here together
Just about a year ago
I was playin’ guitar at a hotel bar
She was workin’ at the casino
Serving drinks to high rollers
Till one of them caught her eye
Now she’s gone an’ hit the bi0g jackpot
And I’ve gone an’ bought a ticket to fly

CHORUS

So bring me another beer chaser
Another Bloody Mary’s goin’ down
I know it might seem early
But I booked the first flight out of town
That baby of mine found another man
And I ain’t stickin’ around
So bring me another beer chaser
Another Bloody Mary’s goin’ down

Instrumental

BRIDGE

They’re ready to board at gate #4
Here’s a hundred, you can keep the change
I’m gonna be the last one on
But I’ll sleep it off on the plane
I’ll sleep it off on the plane

CHORUS

Bring me another beer chaser
Another Bloody Mary’s goin’ down
I know it might seem early
But I booked the first flight out of town
That baby of mine found another man
And I ain’t stickin’ around
So bring me another beer chaser
Another Bloody Mary’s goin’ down
Another Bloody Mary’s goin’ down
Another Bloody Mary’s goin’ down

TOO MANY HONKY TONKS

VERSE
I know she didn’t mean to hurt me
She tried so hard to make it right
I guess I lost out to the whisky
But I wonder where my baby is tonight

CHORUS
‘Cause when her tears start fallin’
Her goodtime friends come callin’
And they won’t keep her feet 
On solid ground
From lonely street to misery
Uptown on down
There’re just too many honky tonks around

INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE
The neon lights are shinin’
Right thru the warm glow of this wine
And my ole heart is pinin’
And I wonder where she’ll be 
At closing time.

CHORUS
‘Cause when her tears start fallin’
Her goodtime friends come callin’
And they won’t keep her feet 
On solid ground
From lonely street to misery
Uptown on down
There’re just too many honky tonks around 
From lonely street to misery
Uptown on down
There’re just too many honky tonks around 

I’ve been down and under 

don’t know what’s going on

I’ve been down and under 

don’t know what I’m doing wrong

Ain’t no use in trying to get back up on my feet

‘cause I’ve been down and under so long

Heard from my baby yesterday

he said that he’s doing fine

heard from my baby yesterday

he said he’s doing fine

so damn hard to hear him smile I nearly lost my mind

‘cause I’ve been down and under so long

Been looking for good company

to help me clear my head

I’ve been looking for good company 

to help me clear my head

One more night by my own side won’t get me out of bed

‘cause I’ve been down and under so long

They told me just to wait it out

these blues will come and go

told me just to wait it out

these blues will come and go

but days keep getting colder and the sun don’t seem to show

‘cause I’ve been down and under so long

I’ve been down and under 

don’t know what’s going on

I’ve been down and under 

don’t know what I’m doing wrong

Ain’t no use in trying to get back up on my feet

‘cause I’ve been down and under so long

I’ve been down and under 

don’t know what’s going on

I’ve been down and under 

don’t know what I’m doing wrong

Ain’t no use in trying to get back up on my feet

‘cause I’ve been down and under so long

Heard from my baby yesterday

he said that he’s doing fine

heard from my baby yesterday

he said he’s doing fine

so damn hard to hear him smile I nearly lost my mind

‘cause I’ve been down and under so long

Been looking for good company

to help me clear my head

I’ve been looking for good company 

to help me clear my head

One more night by my own side won’t get me out of bed

‘cause I’ve been down and under so long

IDLE HOUR

VERSE
There’s a place down the street 
Where my friends congregate
And when we sit on those bar stools
We’re not alone
10 am the lights are on
Beer’s cold, the whiskey’s strong
And we’re drowning those memories
One by one

CHORUS
You can meet me at the Idle hour
Where the juke box plays all those country songs
If you’re tryin’ to hang on 
To a love that’s dead and gone
With too many reasons not to go back home

VERSE
The neon lights are bright
Even tho it’s past midnight
And the band’s packed up and moved on
Stare at the clock on the wall
Bartender says last call
And I start missin’ her most of all

CHORUS
So, you can meet me at the idle hour
Where the juke box plays all those country songs
So if you’re tryin’ to hang on
To a love that’s dead and gone
With too many reasons not to go back home
Too many reasons not to go back home

Been laying low, my head down

Haven’t stopped to look around

In a while, I’m

Holding on to something 

But I can’t tell you what 

Left me thinking you were 

All that I had 

Oh I wanted you, so bad

Oh let me go

Oh let me go

Spent so much time pretending

That I didn’t mind when you’d

Lift me up so high,

Just to say goodbye again

Can’t pretend that I didn’t feel the thrill

But you left me 

Lonely still

Oh let me go

Oh let me go

And everytime I’d try 

Oh I couldn’t catch your eye 

And I 

Grew so tired of the 

Shadow by my side

That I

Couldn’t help but

Pack away my time

And reclaim, what was mine

Oh let me go

Oh let me go

Oh, too much time on my hands 

Couldn’t seem to keep you back

Oh, too much time on my hands 

And now all I can do is ask

Oh let me go

Oh let me go x3

Been laying low, my head down

Haven’t stopped to look around

In a while, I’m

Holding on to something 

But I can’t tell you what 

Left me thinking you were 

All that I had 

Oh I wanted you, so bad

Oh let me go

Oh let me go

Spent so much time pretending

That I didn’t mind when you’d

Lift me up so high,

Just to say goodbye again

Can’t pretend that I didn’t feel the thrill

But you left me 

Lonely still

Oh let me go

Oh let me go

And everytime I’d try 

Oh I couldn’t catch your eye 

And I 

Grew so tired of the 

Shadow by my side

Couldn’t help but

Rain drops fall

I’m going to lose control

Why don’t you just pay small

Attention to me

Hear me call

Look at my broken soul

Out of this deep dark hole

Come and rescue me

Can’t you see that I’m reaching out for you

Take my hand and we’ll try something new  

I felt tall

Able to break a wall

Thought we had touched the goal

Just you and me

Now I’m small

You chose to let me fall

Like an old used doll

You’ve abandoned me

Can’t you feel that I’m still loving you

In my dreams we were meant to be two

Raindrops fall

I’m going to lose control

Why don’t you just pay small

Attention to me

Hear me call

Look at my broken soul

Out of this deep dark hole

Come and rescue me

Can’t you feel that I’m still loving you

In my dreams we were meant to be two

Can’t you see that I’m reaching out for you

Take my hand and we’ll try something new
