i wish i was still drinking

i wish i was still drinking whiskey

wine and beer

the sound of glasses clinking

so sweet to my ear

i wouldn't have to listen to the time that's running out

i'd use it much more wisely

i'd drink and fall about

i wish i was still drinking

then i'd have no fear

tell you how to fix the world

then have another beer

i wouldn't have to feel the pain that's in a mother's eyes

i'd drink till i believe the sound of my own drunken lies

i wish i was still drinking when nothing is too clear

like the tv evangelist fueling people's fear

taking all their hard earned cash in the name of the holy one

their days are surely numbered

their day will surely come

i wish i was still drinking

i was a lot more fun

life of the endless party

friends with anyone

i wouldn't have to answer for the promises i broke

like the president today

or when he drank and snorted coke

i wish i was still drinking

than i wouldn't have to hear

the sound of rapid gunfire exploding in my ear

i'd drink through the nightmare of friends cryin' out for help

i would drink through everything i've seen or heard or felt

i wish i was still drinking

no i really

really do

i'd gather all my fair weather friends like him and her and you

i'd count all the missing teeth

i can no longer chew

i'd even drive my ol' white car

cause she likes drinking too

yeah

i wish i was still drinking whiskey

wine and beer

the sound of glasses clinking

so sweet to my ear

i wouldn't have to listen to the time thats running out

i'd use it much more wisely

i'd drink and fall about
