LYRICS
Making a career out of cocktails
Sure beats working for the man
You rather work for me
So I'll pull up a seat
And I'll tell you where I've been
Take my order and take my cash
Take your time I ain't going nowhere fast
Serve up some therapy
But we both know
That this ain't changing me
Take what I want with a grain of salt
Put it on the rim and watch my problems dissolve
They'll be back in the morning
With an extra burn
But for tonight can we put it on the ice
And give it another turn
Making a career out of cocktails
Sure beats working for the man
You rather work for me
So I'll pull up a seat
And I'll tell you where I've been
I've been you and I've been the fool
Who’s been one too many deep, too
I've served ‘em up
And I've knocked ‘em back
And I poured my broken heart into a shot glass
Probably don't need another barstool
I should walk myself back to a church pew
Cause you ain't serving nothing cheap
And my faith's been sinking deep
Under the waves of whiskey
Making a career out of cocktails
Sure beats working for the man
You rather work for me
So I'll pull up a seat
And I'll tell you where I've been
I've been you and I've been the fool
Who's been one too many deep, too
I've served ‘em up
And I've knocked ‘em back
And I poured my broken heart into a shot glass
I woke up alone
I could hear God pounding on the door
Echoing in my soul
That headache I can't ignore
Missing memories
That ain't no remedy
There's gotta be some change in me
Can't make a career out of cocktails
And I've been working for the wrong man
Go ahead and close my tab, oh
Tonight I can call my own cab, oh
I've been you and I've been the fool
Who's been one too many deep, too
I've served ‘em up
And I've knocked ‘em back
And I poured my broken heart into the wrong glass
Into the wrong glass
