tears will be the chaser for your wine

tears will be the chaser for your wine

you sit there and tell me how you'd like to be free

you're tired of bein' tied down to a home and family

you say you miss the bright lights along the great white way

little do you realize the price you have to pay

tears will be the chaser for your wine

after you leave this love of mine

bright lights and taverns

that's where you'll spend your time

and tears will be the chaser for your wine

before you make up your mind you really want to go

stop and think it over

there's something you don't know

when the part is over

then what will you do

when you wanna come back

there'll be no place for you

and tears will be the chaser for your wine

after you leave this love of mine

bright lights and taverns

that's where you'll spend your time

and tears will be the chaser for your wine
