Twenty First Century BluesMy baby started drinking In the 21st century She drinks because it fills her up When she feels so empty My baby started drinking In the 21st century She drinks to all the wasted years She drinks because of me Back in the nineteen hundreds She hardly ever touched a drop She had a few on New Year's Eve And now she just can't stop It's Mary in the morning A few gin and tonics each night She's too far gone to turn back now I'm too beat up to fight I'd throw away her bottles But she's learned to hide them so well For every Jack or Jim I find I miss two Rebel Yells It breaks my heart to see her When she's stumbling around blind The 21st century blues They caught her from behind That old demon alcohol Has got my baby in it's grasp She swears that she will do better But it don't ever last So I'm down to two choices And I don't know which one is best Booze it up or be alone I'm in an awful mess So go get me a bottle I was once known to tip a few I'd rather be drunk all day long Than sober without you We'll get drunk in the morning And wasted in the afternoon I'm a newfangled hell raiser Not a moment too soon My baby started drinking In the 21st century She drinks because it fills her up When she feels so empty My baby started drinking In the 21st century She drinks to all the wasted years She drinks because of me Copyright Kent Newsome and Ronnie Jeffrey All Rights Reserved |
