Drink Up And Go Home - Carl Perkins

Drink Up And Go Home

Carl Perkins

(J. Maphis - J. Bond, SUN, 1955 - SUNBOX 101)

You sit there a-cryin', cryin' in your beer
You say you got trouble, my friend listen here
Don't tell me your trouble, I got enough of my own
Be thankful you're livin', drink up and go home

I'm fresh out of prison, six years in the can
Lost my wife and family, no one to call friend
Don't tell me your trouble, got enough of my own
Be thankful you're livin', drink up and go home

Well, there stands a blind man, a man that can't see
Yet he's not complainin', why should you and me
Don't tell me your trouble, I got enough of my own
Be thankful you're livin', drink up and go home

I'm fresh out of prison, six years in the can
Lost my wife and family, no one to call friend
Don't tell me your trouble, got enough of my own
Be thankful you're livin', drink up and go home

I'm fresh out of prison, six years in the can
Lost my wife and family, no one to call friend
Don't tell me your trouble, got enough of my own
Be thankful you're livin', drink up and go home
