lyrics

CRUTCHES

Well I drink beer with my eggs for breakfast
And corn liquor with my lunch every time
And a cheap merlot wine
With my dinner every night
As I drift off to sleep
Sipping crown as I close my eyes

So there baby I said it guess I drink’s a little
But girl just what’s an ole lonely boy to do
When you can’t go to her and you can’t stand the moon
Looking down so knowing and wise

All the bootleggers are out on the corner tonight
And they’re fighting with the hookers for the real-estate primetime
A man could get drunk
Or a man could get laid
And as I lay down my body and my bottle
Don’t know which crutch to take

Chorus:
So it’s beer with my breakfast
And corn liquor at lunchtime
And wine with my dinner
And crown when I close my eyes
Yeah baby since you left me
Guess I drink's a little
Baby you use your crutch
And I’ll use mine

There you are in the bar with your friends
They circle around you as if wagons were chairs
But I’m ready this time
Baby you use your crutch and I’ll use mine

Chorus
