When I’m drinking I think in Spanish
When I’m lovin’ I think in French
When I’m leavin’ I’m thinking on east coast time
And how all my money was spent
I used to live a straight laced life
Like a willow wind never bent
A stiff upper lip & a glass of wine
I never knew where my time went
Fame met fortune in Omaha
When I met Anne Marie
Then she met Lester in Wichita
Where their lovin’ about killed me
Anne Marie fled to Arkansas
While I watched cable TV
Watched 24 hours most every day
And now I can hardly see
Reverend Ike sold them condos
In Florida by the sea
Lester bought two with my dough
Which he took from Anne Marie
When I’m drinking I think in in Spanish
When I’m lovin’ I think in French
When I’m leavin’ I’m thinking on east coast time
And how all my money was spent
I’m travelling to get my money back
From Lester, his lawyer, or she
She who took my broken heart
And charged repair of it to me
Me? I’m drinking on overtime and hoping to leave Dixie
To start again with a brand new friend
In either Boston or NYC
When I’m drinking I think in Spanish
When I’m lovin’ I think in French
When I’m leavin’ I’m thinking on east coast time
And how all my money was spent
The moral of this story
The moral behind this song
The modus operandi of this here guy
Is for every right there’s a wrong
For every love has an Anne Marie
There’s sometimes a Lester too
If I’m a fool then I’m God’s fool
But you shouldn’t have to be one too
When I’m drinking I think in Spanish
When I’m lovin’ I think in French
When I’m leavin’ I’m thinking on east coast time
‘Cause now all my money’s been spent
When leavin’ I’m thinking on east coast time
And how all my money was spent
Yo do lay eeee ooooo
Yo do lay eeee ooooo
Yo do lay eeee hay eeee ooh!
