Roger Creager - I Say When I Drink What I Think.... lyrics

Roger Creager/Radney Foster

I say when I drink what I think when I'm sober

It loosens my tongue and makes me feel bolder

I'm in the mood to do a little drinking tonight

Like it or not, this is on my mind

I could sit here silent or get drunk and confide

Bar keeper another round and I can't keep it inside

Excuse Miss, could I buy you a cocktail?

You're so pretty and I just love the way that you...hey

Are those real? Huh? Oh, no I mean your eyes, of course

They're so beautiful and hey, where you going?

I say when I drink what I think when I'm sober

It loosens me up and makes me feel bolder

I'm in the mood to do a little drinking tonight

Like it or not, this is on my mind

I could sit here silent or get drunk and confide

Bar keeper another round and I can't keep it inside

Roger, there are existential, physical and spiritual reasons

Why man cannot live by bread alone

It's not a simple thing in life

It's very complex, it takes a long time and it's excellent

What is it, Radney?

Brisket

Beer

I say when I drink what I think when I'm sober

It loosens my tongue and makes me feel bolder

I'm in the mood to do a little drinking tonight

Like it or not, this is on my mind

I could sit here silent or get drunk and confide

Bar keeper another round and I can't keep it inside

Now a friend of mine that drinks an alarming amount

Tells me it's not what goes in a man's mouth that defiles him

But rather what comes out

So as I sit her tonight, I worry not about what I'm drinking

But rather how much I'm speaking cuz it seems every time

I say when I drink what I think when I'm sober

It loosens my tongue and makes me feel bolder

I'm in the mood to do a little drinking tonight

Like it or not, this is on my mind

I could sit here silent or get drunk and confide

Bar keeper another round and I can't keep it inside
