Young Drunks & Old Alcoholics

They spell it out on billboard signs
But you ain't ageing much like a fine wine
Ya, feel the hit of the times
So soak it up and sweat it out
And now you're feeling much like you're about
To pour a fire on the drought

I ain't out here lookin' for a fix
I ain't tellin' nobody how to live
It ain't far to go
And it's over before you know
So burn your wick
From young drunk to old alcoholic

Wrinkles sink on brittle bones
The tired eyes and the raspy baritone
Ya, feel the hit of the road
So pick it up and sweat it out
Until it's time to pour another out
And put a fire on the drought

I ain't out here lookin' for a fix
And I ain't tellin' nobody how to live
It ain't far to go
And it's over before you know
So burn your wick
Long nights are makin' you sick
Young drunk's an old alcoholic

Fires burn out
We all get old
Fires burn out
We're out here in the
Fires burn out
We all get old
Fires burn out
So let the chords ring
I'm still standing
Out here in the cold
