White Winos

(álbum: Last Man On Earth - 2001)

Mother liked her white wine
When she was alive
She was desperate to live
But her limit was five
Carefully I'd kiss her
And send her off to bed
We always stuck with white wine
We stayed away from red

Always stick with white wine
Stay away from
Mother liked her white wine
She'd have a glass or two
Almost every single night
After her day was through
Sancerre, Chardonnay, Chablis
Pinot Grigio
Just to take the edge off
Just to get the glow

You've got to take the edge off
If you wanna get the...

Mother liked her white wines
She'd have a glass or three
And we'd sit out on the screen porch
White winos mom and me
We'd talk about her childhood
Recap my career
When we got to my father
That was when I'd switch to beer

We got to the old man
And I'd always switch to
Mother liked her white wine
She'd have a glass or four
Each empty bottle a dead soldier
The marriage was the war
When we blurred the edges
When we drank a lot
That's when I got nervous
When the glow got hot

I always get nervous
When the glow gets...

I still like my white wine
And I'll have a glass or two
When I'm down I'll drink some whisky
It's something I shouldn't do
And every now and then I'll
Take a drop of red
When I'm with a woman
That I wanna take to bed

When I'm with a woman
That I wanna take to
Mother liked her white wine
When she was alive
She was desperate to live
But her limit was five
Carefully I'd kiss her
And send her off to bed
Thank God we stuck to white wine
And we stayed away from

Mother liked her white wine...
