Alcohol of Fame

English translation

She left me standin' on a porch down in Georgia

Had me beggin' yellin', "Baby, don't leave"

She had her middle finger wavin' out the window

Like she didn't give a damn about me

I'd have been better off if she took the dog and left me with nothin' to do

But head down to the bar and get a head start on healin' these heartbreak blues

I need a longneck bottle, I need a jukebox song

I need a neon angel to kickstart my movin' on

When they turn them go-home lights on

I swear they're gonna know my name

I'm 'bout to drink myself into the alcohol of fame

Hey, right around last call, they'll hang my picture on the wall

I give 'em all a barstool speech

I'll thank Jim and Jack for havin' my back

And her for walkin' out on me

I need a longneck bottle, I need a jukebox song

I need a neon angel to kickstart my movin' on

When they turn them go-home lights on

I swear they're gonna know my name

I'm 'bout to drink myself into the alcohol of fame

Well, I can see a statue of me in that parkin' lot

Smokin' a cigarette and twistin' off a top

I need a longneck bottle, I need a jukebox song

I need a neon angel to kickstart my movin' on

When they turn them go-home lights on

I swear they're gonna know my name

I'm 'bout to drink myself into the alcohol of fame

Yeah, I'll take all the credit

And she'll take all the blame

And I'm 'bout to drink myself into the alcohol of fame

I'm 'bout to drink myself into the alcohol of fame
