The Windjammers picking up

with the old man's virginia blend

cutting to the quick with his

navy cut

hoping that no one will take notice

of the ragged dirt

on his shirtsleeve

C E

He wants a song to

practice his drinking

C E

the girl with the jukebox voice

lost in the memory but caught in the riptide

F Am

undertow, overload

Bail on my job slip on my shift

G Bm

drown beneath the surface

fall to the wreakage get snagged on a line

G F Bm

with the crawfish, and bottom dwellers

F C E

C E

Dreams of the thinkers, the expert drinkers

C E

and the wave of new regulars rolling in

F Bm E F

come close, stand near, let me hear what you hear

C E

and put one down....

C E

put one down....

C E

put one down....

C E

Put one down

F Bm E C
