"2 Drinks And A Wink" By Shane Axelrod

Song I wrote from a phrase I heard Michael Knowles say that "Every man is 2 drinks and a wink from burning down his whole life."Show more

“2 Drinks And A Wink”

This old fool works
So damn hard
With two jobs and a wife
And the kids
And the dog
And a house that’s just right
Work so damn hard
Just to give it
All away
Went out with the boys
On that fateful day

And this is how
He gave it away

With 2 drinks and a wink
From her over there
Followed up by
One long awkward stare
He’s ready and willing
To give it all away
And burn down his life
That day

He don’t know
What he let go
But he’s gonna find out so
He don’t know
All of the pain
That he will gain
When she changes his name
And takes his kids
And his dog
All over this
One single day

And this is how
He gave it away

With 2 drinks and a wink
From her over there
Followed up by
One long awkward stare
He’s ready and willing
To give it all away
And burn down his life
That day
Burn down his life
That day
Burn down his life
All in one day

This is how
He gave it away

2 drinks and a wink
From her over there
Followed by
One long awkward stare
He’s ready and willing
To give it all away
And burn down his life
That day
And burn down his life
That day
