Lamont's Lament

Sad is the man who drinks with himself
To fog up the day that precedes
From sad then to happy
From happy to bitter
That bitter old man is me

Hey (hey), drink it all away
I said hey (hey), drink it all away
And I dance for the light of the stars in the sky
And sleep all alone tonight

One for my headaches, 2 for the road
3 for my family and 4 for the show
5 for my sorrows, 6 for my wrongs
7 to hell with this song

Hey (hey), drink it all away
I said hey (hey), drink it all away
And I dance for the light of the stars in the sky
And sleep all alone tonight

Well everyone feels the need to belong
Everyone feels the need for a cause
The forces of nature are naturally sure
But where's the effect? where's the effect?
