Original Songs by Kent Newsome

Drunkard


Maybe she's been out of town for a spell
With some brand new love she found
All I know is that since she's been gone
I can't stop stumbling around

Or maybe she's just out catting around
Cause I'm not the cat's meow
All I know is that when I'm alone
I can't put this bottle down

Chorus:
A woman's love can set you free
Or wrap your heart in chains
She locked my heart up tight
And threw away the key
She made a drunkard out of me

Maybe she is just playing hard to get
Cause she cares for me so much
And I can win back her love someday
As soon as I sober up

But for now I'm going to sit here and drink
And forget about the past
Cause love is like a pitcher of beer
It's good but it never lasts

Bridge:
Maybe one day she'll come back
And say baby I've missed you,
So I've come back to stay
And maybe if she does
I'll throw my liquor away
Or maybe I'll just look at her

And say…

Chorus:
A woman's love can set you free
Or wrap your heart in chains
She locked my heart up tight
And threw away the key
She made a drunkard out of me
