Maker a Laker

from Plumb Drastic by Al Grantham

/

lyrics

Some folks are married to an idea
Some folks are tied to a cause
Some folks just like to get cockeyed
Under the blinding moonlight
Maybe get some fries?
Laker lager
Got anything else?

Maker a Laker

The beer store's open
On a Monday night for Jim
And he wants to get his buzz on
Then twenty paces down the road
Is where he’ll go
To see Doogy
Who’s gaming with no pants on

Maker a Laker
Go on and take her
Lonely nights can be alright
Maker a Laker
No need to hate her
Nothing’s ever quite as right as wrong
Has been right before
Stay a little more

I’ve been a keener
When it comes to living large
And when it comes to wasting time
But in my travels with the wind
I’ve never stopped moving
And I’ve met some lovely chimes

Maker a Laker
Go on and take her
Lonely nights can be alright
Maker a Laker
No need to hate her
Nothing’s ever quite as right as wrong
Has been right before
Stay a little more

Bottom’s up

I’ve been a miner
For some sacred heart of gold
And I’m unemployed again
But for better or for worse
I’ll stay this course
And hope my returns
Equal a small fortune

Maker a Laker
Go on a take her
Lonely nights can be alright
Maker a Laker
No need to hate her
Because nothing
Is ever
As right
As wrong’s been before
Stay a little more

Passed out on the floor
