lyrics

Two straight days of waking up at seven
Gonna treat myself and sleep 'til eleven
Kinda feel like I've been hit by a truck:
Eighteen wheels of good wine and bad luck
I could see giving up music…but DRINKING?! But drinking?
This conversation's getting out of hand
It used to be about the drinking, man
My doctor says I should watch it with the band
You know, I've always had a gift for it
And it always elevates my mood
I just know that drinking is my calling
It's what I was put on this Earth to do
But music distorts my vision
Gives me unrealistic ambitions
And I'm tired of all the revisions
Tonight, I'm on a mission
I could see giving up music…but DRINKING?! But drinking?
Why would I quit on something so divine?
I'd be fine in a world with no eighth notes
If I had fifths, and I had wine
You know, I think I'll keep both vices
I'll sing you a song, as long as the ice is
To the top of the bucket in your hotel room
And I'll take the doom if you take the gloom
But if I break out the Fender, you better take out the blender
'Cause it's almost happy hour, let's drink a toast to those with willpower
And if you think you're gonna get me singin'
You'd better make with the slingin', cowboy…

The Claudettes Chicago, Illinois

The Claudettes stare down dark personal and national moods, seizing high times on the road and on their best album yet. Piano is still the core of the Claudettes' music, but Berit Ulseth's sublime vocals steal the spotlight on the band's fifth release. Produced by Grammy winner Ted Hutt, this richly atmospheric album conjures images of Julie London and Allen Toussaint in a '60s hot-rod band. ... more
