Straight No Chaser

Won't you pour me a river
Just to sell away my blues
Crack open the bottle
And let the beast of Bourbon loose
Another nail in the coffin
Now the shit has hit the fan
Now I'm back where I started
A brokenhearted man, yeah

Straight no chaser
Ram it all down
I want a straight no chaser
No fooling around

TNT in my system
Man, I feel like I've been used
I'm a streetwalking timebomb
Just about to blow a fuse
I've got the blues de-luxe, girl
Since you walked away from me
I've had Teachers for breakfast
And the shakes at night for free, oh...

Straight no chaser
Ram it all down
I want a straight no chaser
No fooling around

Straight no chaser
Ram it all down
I want a straight no chaser
No fooling

Straight... no chaser
Straight
Straight... no chaser
Straight

Yeah...

Well, she was a mystified lady
Now good loving gone bad
There were no worries or maybes
The "Best I've Ever Had"
I read in a fortune cookie
Our love was meant to last
Reviving my own survival
From sucking in the past, yeah

Ow!

That hooch sure laid me out pretty
Juiced-out on some real bad trippy
Doing time at a New York diner
Just to try to make ends meet
Now the bar commander
Telling me it's time to stop
I'm feeling dizzy, going nuts
I drank the Scotch like it's soda pop

Straight no chaser
Ram it all down
Straight no chaser
No fooling around

I want a straight no chaser
Ram it all down
I want a straight no chaser
