Till You Feel Alright

"...Heartbreak will get you to drinking..."

Till You Feel Alright

Just do you
before eternal sleep comes.
Raise the roof,
hey, someone's got to do it.

Heartbreak will get you to drinking.
Gin and juice, Jack and Coke,
when she goes away for good
you open up that bottle and drink
it till you feel alright.

This is good medicine.
I'll not argue.
If you get a little tired,
hey, just go to sleep.
