Geoff Berner The Way That Girl Drinks Beer Lyrics
I know what they say
Don't try this at home, kids
It don't take waking up
Covered in throwup to be a man
Save your pennies to pay
Off your student loan, kids
You won't find no answer
At the bottom of a bottle or can
But when her wrists are bending
I wish it was never ending
Ask me how I feel
I can tell you
Do you got a year?
The
Way
That
Girl
Drinks
Beer
She really puts it away now
The way she drinks beer
You'd swear she had a hollow leg
Oh, just the slip of a girl
But just like a pink one
She's got a punch to knock you down
So hard you don't know if you wanna wake up
Watching her swirl
It 'round her mouth and then sink one
Well, it makes me feel legless before
I put my lips to the cup
They say that loose lips
Are liable to sink ships
I bet she'd sink a super-tanker
Twice a year
The
Way
That
Girl
Drinks
Beer
She really puts it away now
The way she drinks beer
You'd swear she had a hollow leg
Well, I asked God
If it was wrong to say
That her drinking put me thinkin' in a spiritual
He said "My son, don't you know the score?
What you think I sent drugs down there for?
Drink your so-dee pop, but you'll just get bored
And you're never gonna see the true face of the Lord."
The way that she
Holds
The can in only two fingers
And leaves the other four free to make a blessing
Or put on a hex
If I get old
It'll be the memory that lingers
Maybe longer than the sound of her voice
Or the taste of her s__
There's nothing I wouldn't give her
My heart, my soul, my liver
(Which she'll probably be needing within a year!)
The
Way
That
Girl
Drinks
Beer
She really puts it away now
The way she drinks beer
You'd swear she had a hollow leg
Where does it go?
I swear that I don't know
'Cause she's a clever little girl with the voice of doom
But she never seems to visit the little girls' room
