Pour Me Another Double

Pour me another double
'Cause I'm thinking about being single
I wanna go back to fishing
And be free to roam and mingle

Life at home is sober
So I'm here to change the frame
Just keep the liquor flowing
While I think about the game

A lot of times were happy
A lot of times were sad
A lot of times were trying
A lot of times were bad

Pour me another double
While I think about my past
I've got so much to chew on
This drink is not my last

The answer isn't liquid
That's not why I am here
But I'll take another double
And serve it with a beer

I think about my wife
I think about my life
I think about our struggles
I think about our strife

I think I'll have another
Forget about the beer
I'll finish off this last one
And then I'll leave from here

I've come to a conclusion
Of what I want in life
I only want the woman
That I'm proud to call my wife

Thanks for your attention
I know I bent your ear
Here's an extra fiver
For letting me sit here


Rockman  :-)

This must have been a good contest. Sorry I missed it. The competition must have been awfully tough for you not to win with this entry. This was very impressive.

All that thinking to bring you to the conclusion that you're happy the way things are. I think you've got the world by the tail. Greata verse. :)
