There's a place I go in my mind
Where everything works out fine
It's better in there... I don't have a care
There's a place I go in my mind

I had a few friends in my day
Where they are now I can't say
There were women as well... and they gave me hell
I had a few friends in my day

So it's down with another cold beer
To forget about how I got here
The whiskey is warm... It quiets the storm
Chase it down with another cold beer

Then I looked into her eyes
They were blue like a September sky
I was never the same... Gimme fortune and fame
When I looked into her eyes

But one day she packed her bags
The promise of riches turned to rags
I drank the booze... No matter what I would lose
And one day she packed her bags

So it's down with another cold beer
To forget about how I got here
The whiskey is warm... It quiets the storm
Chase it down with another cold beer

I don't know if I'll make it back
The papers are piled up in stacks
There's work to be done... My back's to the sun
I don't know if I'll make it back

So it's down with another cold beer
To forget about how I got here
The whiskey is warm... It quiets the storm
Chase it down with another cold beer

...The whiskey is warm... It quiets the storm
Chase it down with another cold beer
