Devil Don't Drink Alone

He sat down without an invitation. He bought.

Verse 1 Took the stool that the boys won't take On account of the chill it tends to make Set his hat on the bar like a thing Smiled at the bartender, didn't say a thing Two bourbons, neat, you know the kind One for him and one to bind The barkeep poured 'em without a word You don't argue with a man who's been the word

Chorus Devil don't drink alone And tonight he's drinking with me A man could have worse company A man could have better, see

Verse 2 He don't preach and he don't push He just listens and the room gets hushed I told him things I told nobody He nodded slow like an old body Said son, you ain't half as bad as the page Most men flatter themselves into rage You and me, we just drink and listen And that's a holier kind of fishin'

Chorus Devil don't drink alone And tonight he's drinking with me A man could have worse company A man could have better, see

Bridge He won't come for me till the bottle's gone And the bottle's been gone for a long, long song So we sit and we sip and the clock don't tick And the bar don't close and the world's a trick Devil don't drink alone And tonight he's drinking with me A man could have worse company A man could have better, see

Outro A man could have better, see
