Fifteen Beers

I drank fifteen beers

That's a whole lot of brew in one night

When you tryin' to drown a memory from your mind

It took me fifteen beers to get here

I don't know how many more till I leave

I take my change in tears and drink my fifteen beers, yeah

Well, I rolled into Joe's about 6:15

And I was ready to pour 'em down

'Cause at 8 o'clock, Delilah was a meetin' me there

Well, I thought I'd have three or four just to loosen up

'Cause we were really gonna swing tonight

I could already see her face and touch her long red hair

Well, at 9:35, I thought, man alive

What could be a holdin' her up?

Just then a man in a long black Cadillac

Came in and told little Joe, "Fill 'er up"

While he was cleanin' off the windows, a guess who he saw?

In the back, layin' soft as rain

It was Delilah sippin' on pink champagne

I drank fifteen beers

That's a whole lot of blues for one man

When you tryin' to drown a memory from your mind, yeah

It took me fifteen beers to forget you

I don't know how many more to just live

While he holds Delilah near, I'll drink my fifteen beers

I drank fifteen beers

And that's a whole lot of brew in one night

When you tryin' to drown a memory from your mind

It took me fifteen beers to get here

I don't know how many more till I leave

I'll take my change in tears and drink my fifteen beers

My fifteen beers

Fifteen beers
