Drinking By Myself

by Brant Risko

Last night I was sittin
At the City Gate Inn
Just drinking again by myself

Having such a good time
Right here drinking my wine
With just me and nobody else

When in walked a man
With a glass in his hand
Who sat down at the bar with a smile

He said my glass is empty
So sir could ya lend me
Enough coin to drink for a while

So I pulled out some gold
And the barkeep I told
His drinks are on me all night long

Then I told the poor chap
You'll be paying me back
By listening to all of my songs!
