Chug-A-Lug

(album: Back My Way - 2021)

There lived an old man deep in the pines
Of deep East Texas on the Louisiana line
He'd sit on his stool and pick his guitar
Drinking moonshine liquor out an old mason jar
Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug

He always sang on a simple song
Every night in the wood when he'd tie one one
He'd let it ring out through the pines
And let that ole moonshine sing

Chug-a-lug, tip one back for me yeah
Find a buzz, let it jog your memory
To back when you were a kid without a care in the world
Back before she broke your heart, when she was your girl
Now chug-a-lug

Back one day the old man sat there
On the bank of the river in an old lawn chair
He passed out from the alcohol
The river rose up, and swept him off
As he float away out in the water
You can still here the old man hollering

Chug-a-lug, tip one back for me yeah
Find a buzz, let it jog your memory
To back when you were a kid without a care in the world
Back before she broke your heart, when she was your girl
Chug-a-lug
Oh chug-a-lug

Chug-a-lug, tip one back for me yeah
Find a buzz, let it jog your memory
To back when you were a kid without a care in the world
Back before she broke your heart, when she was your girl
Chug-a-lug

When me and my buddies wanna have a good time
We head on down to the Louisiana line
When the sun falls out of the sky
You can still here the stabbing cry
