"Drink It Down, Lady" Lyrics

Drink it down, lady, like it was your last.
You know your future got lost in your past.
No man can out out the fire in your eyes.
Are you smilin' or cryin' for the men who have tried?

Love is a bad dream she had as a child
Maybe you don't see through her painted-on smile.
Never fulfilling and never enough.
And thirsty beyond what she found in her cup.

They'd sing drink it down, lady, like it was your last.
You know your future got lost in your past.
No man can out out the fire in your eyes.
Are you smilin' or cryin' for the men who have tried?

They got a name for a woman like you.
An ending for their pride if they only knew.
How deep was that river? How hard was the flow?
Where does all that good lovin' go?

An' they'd sing drink it down, lady, like it was your last.
You know your future got lost in your past.
No man can out out the fire in your eyes.
Are you smilin' or cryin' for the men who have tried?

Oh, drink it down, lady, like it was your last.
You know your future got lost in your past.
No man can out out the fire in your eyes.
Are you smilin' or cryin' for the men who have tried?
