Pour Me A Drink - Nanci Griffith

Pour me a drink

Light me a cigarette

Help me forget

The things that I’ve done

Pour me a drink

Then pour me another one

To keep out this cold wind

That blows through my soul

Look at my life

Here in these photographs

Look at these faces

What a story they tell

There was a time

When I knew how to laugh

I’d drink to forget

But I remember it well

Pour me a drink

Light me a cigarette

Help me forget

The things that I’ve done

Pour me a drink

Then pour me another one

To keep out this cold wind

That blows through my soul

So many promises

So many daydreams and plans

So many chances

That I let slip through my hands

Pour me a drink

Light me a cigarette

Help me forget

The things that I’ve done

Pour me a drink

Then pour me another one

To keep out this cold wind

That blows through my soul
