Lyric Liquor s my lover

Well, the doctor came callin , he said, "Tom, lemme in.
You re long overdue for an examinin .
You re pale and you re sickly and ugly as sin."
I pulled up a chair and I poured him a gin

CHORUS:
Liquor s my lover and I want it that way
I don t need no other, there s no woman for me
Yeah, liquor s my lover, all my women have depart(ed)
and it may harm my liver but it won t break my heart

"Well, I m warnin ya, Tom," that old doctor said,
"You better stop drinkin , you need a clear head.
Half o ya s dyin , the other half s dead.
You better find a good woman cause you re drinkin to death."

THE ELECTRIC GUITAR STEPS FORWARD.

So I went to a preacher and I told him I d sinned
cause the day that she left me, well, I hit the gin
He said the old bottle would soon do me in
but I m gettin used to the shape that I m in

Well, I should have listened to their good advice
cause I kept on drinkin and I died that night
St. Peter stepped forward when I rang his bell
He said, "Slo Tom, there s no liquor in heaven,"
so I went straight to
liquor s my lover and I want it that way...
