Daydrinkin'

I've been told it's wise to wait 'til dusk
To put a cold cocktail to one's lip
Yes I've been sold a lotta lies my love
Been given many a poison cup to sip
Now I feel old, it's like you wore me out
I once was bold, you tore my soul with doubt
So now I know it's better not to wait
It's good to get a start on feeling great
Before it gets too late
So I'm

Daydrinkin'
And thinkin' about you
Daydrinkin'
A glass in my hand
I start with white wine in the morning
By noon I'm taking shots with the band

When I switch to hard liquor
I like that juniper gin
By night-time I've nearly forgotten
The thrill of the smell of your voice in my hair
And the sound of your skin

So, I knock myself out another evening
Oblivion's better than pain
But when the sun hits my eyes
It's the darkest surprise
To find you running 'round my mind again
So, I start

Daydrinkin'
Some rum in my coffee
Daydrinkin'
Sippin' beer from the can
I take a cab down to Decatur
Where the bartenders all understand
About dat

Daydrinkin'
I give out my number
Daydrunk
To any ole man
Night-time I get a strange message
From some guy who says he
Wants one final goodbye
Before he boards his flight
To Japan

So, I knock myself out another evening
Oblivion's better than pain
But when the sun hits my eyes
It's the darkest surprise
To find you running 'round my mind again

So I knock myself out another evening
Oblivion's better than pain
But when the sun hits my eyes
It's the darkest surprise
To find you running 'round my mind again

Daydrinkin'
To stop thinkin' about you
Daydrinkin'
Til I run out of ice
Knock on the door of a neighbour
To see if he's got "Something Cool"
Maybe lend me some sugar
Or maybe some spice

Daydrinkin'
To stop thinkin' about you
Daydrinkin' ...
'Til I'm daydrunk enough to run you
'Til I'm daydrunk enough to spin you
'Til I'm daydrunk enough to run you
Right out of my brain
