Good Liquor Gonna Carry Me Down Songtext
von Okkervil River

I know a little girl, ′bout sixteen years old
She said, "Will quit drinking and I will satisfy your soul
But I'm gonna keep on drinking
Yeah, I′ll keep on drinking
I'm gonna keep on drinking
Til good liquor carry me down

A woman told me 'bout fifteen years ago
You′re gonna drink one of these
Mornings and you will never drink no more
But I will keep on drinking
Yeah, I keep on drinking
I′m gonna keep on drinking
Til good liquor carry me down


I wake up in the morning, I hold my bottle tight
When I lay down at night well there's a gallon at my side
Because I keep on drinking
Yeah, I keep on drinking
I′m gonna keep on drinking
Til good liquor carry me down

I went to the doctor with my head in my hands
Doctor said, "hey Will I have to give you monkey glands
Because you just keep on drinking
Yeah, I keep on drinking
And I'm gonna keep on drinking
Til good liquor carry me down

But my woman told me stop drinking,
Says stop drinking she′s calling home
She says, "if you don't stop it Will I may just
But I will keep on drinking
Yeah, I′ll keep on drinking
I'm gonna keep on drinking
'Til good liquor carry me down

I′m gonna keep on drinking
Til good liquor carry me down
