I Drink from the Fountain - The Royer Brothers

He was sittin' at the bar Sippin' on a regular Coke We were drinkin' and smokin' And makin' him the butt of our jokes We all said, man what happened to you? Why can't you just have a few? He said, I would if I could But it's probably best that I don't 'Cause the more I drink, the more I drink Then I'm the world's greatest lover and a dancin' machine I get loud, I get proud and it gets worse Well, if I have one I'll have thirteen Now there ain't no in between 'Cause the more I drink, uuh the more I drink A couple of cold ones And somebody hands me a shot Hell, even buck-tooth and bow-legged women Start lookin' hot And pretty soon I'm bummin' cigarettes And sweet talkin' some big brunette Yeah, once I get on a roll Ain't no tellin' where I'll stop 'Cause the more I drink, the more I drink Then I'm the world's greatest lover and a dancin' machine I get loud, I get proud and it gets worse Yaa, if I have one I'll have thirteen Now there ain't no in between 'Cause the more I drink, the more I drink, the more I drink, yep, yep Hmm, that's what I'm talking about Man, if I have one I'll have thirteen And they can't get me off the karaoke machine The more I drink, the more I drink Yeah, the more I drink, the more I drink, the more I drink

When I drink I say things I don't wanna say I do things I don't wanna do I talk mean to you But if I think I just might get something out of this My parents taught me to learn when I miss Just do your best Just do your best It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be At least a little better than I've been so far But when I drink I hear things that aren't really there I feel things when I shouldn't really care Have fist fights with the air But if I think about someone besides myself I lived through the silver and the bell With something to tell Just do your best It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be At least a little better than I've been so far But when I drink I spend the next morning in a haze But we only get so many days Now I have one less Just do your best It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be At least a little better than I've been so far Oh, at least a little better than I've been so far

What will I have left when even the hurt is gone And I can't feel a thing? Would you had been there when I came home? Could you hold on another day? I wish I had not held, held on to you so long But I was just so damn afraid I wish I hadn't used you to pull me Out of this dark and lonely place I had the whole damn world and I gave it all away What did I think I would save? For better or for worse, this is my burden to take 'Cause I'm the only one to blame You're so much better off With nothing but memories of, memories of my face Because I have no use now that you're gone And now I'm running out of faith Together we will live forever I'm not afraid anymore, forever I'm not afraid anymore, we will live forever I'm not afraid anymore, forever I'm not afraid anymore, we will live forever I'm not afraid anymore

If you slow dance You can really take time to get to know the rhythm If you slow dance I could really take time to get to know you better If we slow dance We could really take time to get to know each other If we slow dance We could really get down and bust the right moves We can dance slow, oh-whoa We should slow dance Always speedin' through time, we lose sense of the hours All this romance Is as delicate as the pot that holds the flowers Love is a seed Planted in the ground that keeps on growin' And the time we spend Sets the fire in our hearts for light to keep on glowin'
