For Jonny

Drank booze from bowls
Sang "Dixie" out of tune
Missed a football game on Sunday
Passed out at noon

I wanted to hit the town,
but the town, it hit me
It's been knocking me down
Since I was 19

Meet me in Paris
Or Fort Wayne
Everywhere I go
A bartender knows my name

Hello, my remedy
Goodbye, memory
When last call comes,
Don't call
For Jonny

I'll have a Texas tea,
Whatever that means
Just put back in
What comes out of me

You can't cut me off,
I've still got an hour
Just give it to me straight
Forget about the sour

Meet me in Paris
Or Fort Wayne
Everywhere I go
A bartender knows my name

I've got a tattoo on my wrist
That says "whiskey"
When last call comes,
Don't call
For Jonny

Been 30 days of
Reading the Big Book at night
I'm still not sure
If I've seen the light

I dreamt I swam across that lake
Like Slowhand did before
Got loaded at a bar
Then hit a liquor store

A pink elephant
Waved his trunk at me
I'm shaking through my
Final fit of the DTs

Meet me in Paris
Or Fort Wayne
Everywhere I go
A bartender knows my name

Sweet home, Milwaukee
Is where I wanna be
When last call comes,
Don't call
For Jonny
