FREE AT LAST

"HEY MR.BARTENDER, I'VE COME ALONG TODAY,
TO HELP YOU ONCE AGAIN, YOUR CREDITORS TO PAY.
YOUR KIDS' WILL EAT BEEFSTEAK TONIGHT.
AND WEAR NEW CLOTHES TO SCHOOL.
WHILE MINE WILL DO WITH WHAT THEY HAVE,
BECAUSE I AM SUCH A FOOL.

FOR JUST TO SATISFY MY THIRST
AND PROVE I AM A MAN,
I'LL COME AND DRINK AND SHOOT SOME POOL,
TO SHOW MY WIFE I CAN,
SHE DOESN'T LIKE FOR ME TO DRINK
BUT, SHE CAN GO TO HELL.
I'LL PROVE TO HER, I AM A MAN,
AND THIS TO HER I'LL TELL-
"YOUR LOVE DON'T MEAN A THING TO ME"
I'D RATHER HAVE MY BEER,
A DAY OUT WITH THE GUYS MEANS MORE

SO STEP ASIDE, MY DEAR"
"SO HERE I AM BARTENDER, SET UP ANOTHER ROUND
I'VE DECLARED MY INDEPENDENCE,
TO A DRUNKEN LIFE I'M BOUND.
I HAVE NO WIFE OR CHILDREN
NO HOME, NO LOVE OR CARES.
NO NAGGING VOICE TO TELL ME, I AM CAUSING LONELY TEARS.
FOR I HAVE MADE THE CHOICE AT LAST,
HER NAGGING I CAN'T STAND.
I'LL DROWN MY GUILTY FEELINGS, AND BLAME HER ALL I CAN.
SO, SET'EM UP BARTENDER, I'M FREE TONIGHT AT LAST,
I'VE TRADED EVERYTHING I HAD, FOR THE BOOZE IN MY GLASS.
