Young Drunks & Old Alcoholics

They spell it out on billboard signs

But you ain't ageing much like a fine wine

Ya, feel the hit of the times

So soak it up and sweat it out

And now you're feeling much like you're about

To pour a fire on the drought

I ain't out here lookin' for a fix

I ain't tellin' nobody how to live

It ain't far to go

And it's over before you know

So burn your wick

From young drunk to old alcoholic

Wrinkles sink on brittle bones

The tired eyes and the raspy baritone

Ya, feel the hit of the road

So pick it up and sweat it out

Until it's time to pour another out

And put a fire on the drought

I ain't out here lookin' for a fix

And I ain't tellin' nobody how to live

It ain't far to go

And it's over before you know

So burn your wick

Long nights are makin' you sick

Young drunk's an old alcoholic

Fires burn out

We all get old

Fires burn out

We're out here in the

Fires burn out

We all get old

Fires burn out

So let the chords ring

I'm still standing

Out here in the cold
