music & Lyrics by Raymond J. Yeager, Kyle A. Yeager, Christian P. Yeager
2nd guitar plays fills in A minor & F#m pentatonic licks throughout the song
Harmonica is in the Key of D and plays fills between verses and alternates with 2nd guitar between verses
[Chorus]
AJust came for a drink Gonna stay for the rest
DDon’t have work until morning So I’ll do Awhat I do best
Ddon’t want your advice I don’t care what Ayou think
ESo step away from the baDr and let me get Aa drink
[Verse 1]
AI just came for a drink and to sing the same old songs
 DKnowin’ me, somethin’s bound to go wronAg
DI won’t be accused of ever using my headA  
EVery soon these blue eyeDs will turn redA  
[Chorus]
AJust came for a drink Gonna stay for the rest
DDon’t have work until morning So I’ll do Awhat I do best
Ddon’t want your advice I don’t care what Ayou think
ESo step away from the baDr and let me get Aa drink
[Verse 2]
AWhen you ain’t got nothin’ you ain’t got nothin’ to lose
DGot no interests other than women and boAoze
DThe alarm in the morning is   something AI dread
EBut for folks like me thDat’s thinkin’ waAy too far ahead
[Chorus]
AJust came for a drink Gonna stay for the rest
DDon’t have work until morning So I’ll do Awhat I do best
Ddon’t want your advice I don’t care what Ayou think
ESo step away from the baDr and let me get Aa drink
[Verse 3]
AControlling myself has always been real tough
DOne’s too many then 100 ain’t enoughA  
DSome things are better left unsaidA  
EYou know its nights like Dthis when I migAht piss the bed
[Chorus]
AJust came for a drink Gonna stay for the rest
DDon’t have work until morning So I’ll do Awhat I do best
Ddon’t want your advice I don’t care what Ayou think
ESo step away from the baDr and let me get Aa drink
[Chorus]
AJust came for a drink Gonna stay for the rest
DDon’t have work until morning So I’ll do Awhat I do best
Ddon’t want your advice I don’t care what Ayou think
ESo step away from the baDr unless you’re Abuyin’ drinks
