Play Me Something I Can Drink To - Jon Wolfe

I didn’t come in here to dance

And I don’t plan to have a good time

So honey just top off this glass

And take this pocket full of dimes

And go wake up that old jukebox

Then just leave me alone

I’ve got a past to put behind

So keep one thing in mind

When you’re pickin' out them songs

Play me something I can drink to

Something I can sit and think to

A song 'bout nothing left to lose

From someone who’s been in my shoes

And play it loud enough to drown out

All the hell I’m goin' through

Make it something I can cry to

A tune her memory can die to

I’ve got a table in the dark

A bottle and a broken heart

Play me something I can drink to

I’ve got everything I need

To get me where I’m goin'

And when I get there I’ll be free

If only for tonight

As long as that steel guitar is playin'

She’ll be goin', goin', gone

Well I’ve got a ghost to kill

And I know this whiskey will

With some help from Hank and Jones

So play me something I can drink to

Something I can sit and think to

A song 'bout nothing left to lose

From someone who’s been in my shoes

And play it loud enough to drown out

All the hell I’m goin' through

Make it something I can cry to

A tune her memory can die to

I’ve got a table in the dark

A bottle and a broken heart

Play me something I can drink to

I’ve got nowhere else to go

So keep 'em comin' sad and slow

Play me something I can drink to
