verse 1
I sat down at the bar
and he looked me in the eye
and said "What'll it be?
you're looking kind of dry"
I said "hit me with the best
this ole bar's got"
he said "Ok friend, but
you're not gonna like it a lot"
he said
chorus
"There's a bottle for every fool
if you're not livin the golden rule
And a drink or two everyday
temporarily chases the blues away
there's a lot you can find here
but the best I've found over the years
there's a story on every stool
and a bottle for every fool"
verse 2
I see ole Pete in the corner
marks each divorce with a tattoo
and Fred just became a widower
yea he's had quite a few
then there's Bob down on the end
lost his leg in Vietnam
so I should think long and hard
before I drink not giving a damn
cuz
chorus
There's a bottle for every fool
if you're not livin the golden rule
And a drink or two everyday
temporarily chases the blues away
there's a lot you can find here
but the best I've found over the years
there's a story on every stool
and a bottle for every fool
bridge
"I think Coffee is what it'll be,
cuz my troubles ain't the worst
don't think you got enough bottles here
to quench all these fool's thirst
lead break
chorus
There's a bottle for every fool
if you're not livin the golden rule
And a drink or two everyday
temporarily chases the blues away
there's a lot you can find here
but the best I've found over the years
there's a story on every stool
and a bottle for every fool"
