Lisa Bastoni: Music

With a washcloth to his forehead
Richard says to me
"I will never drink again
Starting next week"
But I cannot offer encouragement
Or send him a sympathy card
'Cause this is the week
That I'm gonna start drinking hard

I've always been such a good girl
Report cards all straight A's
Well I could use the sickness
Of a reckless heart these days
In college they laughed at my tolerance
I was the sober, the serious one
Well look out world
This uptight girl is gonna start having fun

Chorus:
So bring out the whiskey
Bring out the wine
Bring out the gin
The tonic and lime
Bring on the booze
I ain't gonna lose
I'm gonna finally cure
My teetotallin' blues

Dad's breakfast was a beer
And a BLT
Mom's dinner was white wine
In front of the TV
I only want to make my folks proud
Be belligerent and loud
'Cause the liquor ran thicker than blood
In my family

Chorus

My love woke the morning after
Sweating So Co and blood from his pores
He was the life of the party
He was walking into doors
And I know why I loved him
Why I waited by the phone
He was a dangerous angel
He threw up when I walked him home

Chorus
