Week 1 Theme: Drinking Song

Chorus:
I’ll have another bartender
Give me the best you’ve got bartender
I’ll have another bartender
The wind’s at my back
And I’m chasing my dreams

Verses:
I once tended a bar full of boring old men
When a pretty young stranger came wandering in
She’d let out a whoop after downing each shot
Then sing give me another the best that you’ve got

We fell in love and stayed here in town
The roving young woman and I settled down
We had a beautiful son who we both did adore
Right after that birth she asked for some more

I needed more work to feed all the mouths
So I joined a fishing crew headed way south
And I wailed to my captain as the waves spun us around
Give us the good stuff before we go down

I returned to find a strange man in my place
He got my woman and my job so I punched his face
And he punched me right back landing shot after shot
I yelled give me another the best that you’ve got

Now my face is healed my hair is now gray
I’m a boring old man  and I'm drinking away
My wife and my kids, they're never coming back
My only dream now is fading to black
