Drank Like a River

Well, he was nearly died

When he returned to the town where he'd come from

He's brown baggin' it tonight behind some tavern

Somebody wrecked his life

And I'll bet you it was his darlin'

Somebody wrecked his life

And I'll bet you it was his darlin'

So he drank like a river when the wedding bells rang

Watched from the steeple as the choir girls sang

Died in the gutter on his feet and his hands

Same hands that once touched her face

Well he was nearly died

When he returned to the town where he'd come from

He's hangin', out drinkin' beer with his brother-in-law

He was a drinker at night

And in the mornin', he was unnervin'

He was a drinker full-time

The day that he lost his darlin'

So he drank like a river when the wedding bells rang

Watched from the steeple as the choir girls sang

Died in the gutter on his feet and his hands

Same hands that once touched her face

So he drank like a river when the wedding bells rang

Watched from the steeple as the choir girls sang

Died in the gutter on his feet and his hands

Same hands that once touched her face
