Lyrics I Can Wrap My Head Around (One More Beer)

At work they play CD's that get pumped into the store.

There is a large and eclectic collection of stuff but generally the same music gets played over and over.

Until I arrived.

I was rifling through the pile and I came across a blues compilation. That CD is now my go to CD.

They got some Sinatra, some Beatles, some Cajun music which I also broadcast, but the blues CD is deliriously awesome. And it seems kind of dirty for the environment I work in, which makes it even more appealing to me.

Got a song on there called "One More Beer", played by the Chris Fitz Band. I haven't been able to figure out if they wrote it or not but they do a damn good job with it.

Side note: The Chris Fitz Band is a band I used to see regularly at The Rynborn Blues Club in Antrim, NH; I know them, I dig them.

Additional side note: The demise of The Rynborn was one of the more traumatic moments of my life.

Try some lyrics on for size: "I washed myself from head to toe, shined up my shoes, baby, straightened out my greasy hair, I put on something new, I'll walk 100 miles through the driving rain, and when I get to your back door I'm gonna call out your name.................................

"just before I do, gonna sneak in this door, belly up into this bar and have myself one more.............

"Give me one more beer and I'll be all right, one more beer and I'll be right home, one more beer and I'll be all right now, maybe a shot or two before I change my ways."

I can so identify with this song.

There is nothing more seductive than a shot and a beer.

Not even a woman, because, obviously, all women are insane.

Some of the most comfortable moments in my life have occurred with my ass on a bar stool, a cold beer in front of me and a shot of whiskey on the side.

That's just the way it is.

I was thinking about it Sunday night at the show with Phil. We had a blast and it felt like a natural born experience. We did go a little over the top because we were swept up in the moment and the music but still, it felt so good and so right.

I rarely do that type of thing anymore and I miss it. I miss it sorely. And in today's world there are precious few places that will actually serve you a shot and a beer, which is a goddamn shame.

More lyrics, which, again, I can so identify with: "Everything I did before, this time I'll do it right, I know it's time for me to change, guess I'll start tonight, just before I do gonna sneak in this door, belly up into this bar and have myself one more..................

"Give me one more beer and I'll be all right, one more beer and I'll be right home, one more beer and I'll be all right now, maybe a shot or two before I change my ways."

Dig it, baby.
