lyrics

One of these nights was a drizzlin rain
I woke up with a neck full of pain
Hard times and a dreadful bed
Can’t make a living with a worry in your head.

Hard shadow comes near my door
Won’t be coming round here no more
Make me a life and make it great
I’ll be living till I’m 108

If you’re young and never been kissed
You’ve probably know there’s more than this
If you’re old and had some fun
You’ve kissed many more than one

Take your head out of a vice
Drink something so good an nice
If the whisky ain’t quite right
At least your heads not on so tight

Let it ring, let it ring, let your spirit soar
