MUSIC & LYRICS BY Arlon Bennett

lyrics

If I Drank
Arlon Bennett * arlonsongs@gmail.com * 609-577-9434


If I drank
It might start to show in subtle ways
A nervous tic an empty gaze
uh Honey I’ll be right back

If I drank
The top shelf would slowly disappear
I’d have to say I’m sorry dear
for the boys on poker night

If I drank
She’d ask me after kissing me
I’d say no you just intoxicate me
And we’d have a good laugh

If I drank
White lies would turn a shade of gray
Always knowing what to say
When she asks where I’d been

If I drank
I’d come home a bit disheveled
From wrestling with the devil
Or maybe his wife

If I drank
Our voices would get louder
To the point where I’d out shout her
Behind a slamming door

If I drank
I know I’d have her to thank
And to be absolutely frank
who needs her anyway
If I drank
I’d come home to an echo
Too find everything I let go
In a picture on the floor

If I drank
I’d have a double for posterity
One for her and one for me
Guess that’s how it would be

If I drank..
