Alcoholic's Anthem
Author: Dan Campbell
Adios to the shooting star in tequila,
Bye y’all to the lightning in moonshine.
The alcohol made me forget Margarita
And not miss those days when she was mine.
No, I won't miss the blackouts and regrets,
Yes, if I can just stay off the firewater
There might be a chance for me yet.
Auf Wiedersehen to the buzz of the beer
Au revoir to the glowing of the wine.
It feels mighty strange standing here
Without holding a glass or a stein.
No, I won't miss the blackouts and regrets,
Yes, if I can just say no to the sauce
There might be a chance for me yet.
Orevwa to island breezes in the rum,
Tally-ho to the juniper in gin.
I've said good riddance to drinking chums
Poured down the drain my snake medicine.
No, I won't miss the blackouts and regrets,
Yes, if I can just say no to the poison
There might be a chance for me yet.
So it’s so long to the Liar in a bottle,
Sayonara to fibs from sake and vermouth.
From now on I quench my thirst with water
From now on I only swallow the crystal clear truth.
