A Toast To The Lonely - Lyrics

I've got a few new songs that I'm going to be posting lyrics & either audio or video of soon, but I realized I never put the lyrics for "A Toast To The Lonely" up when I originally posted the video. So here they are, along with the video for those of you who missed it the first time.

A Toast To The Lonely
Another cold night in the latest hot spot
I ask a few girls to dance, but i ain't got no shot
So, I buy beer & whisky with dough I ain't got
I got plenty of piss, but I ain't got no pot

But, if only those brown eyes I dream of at night
Will come take my hand, make everything alright
I keep searching for her, but she's nowhere in sight
So, I cling to the bar till I get good and tight

Here's a toast to all the lonely guys
Who will never see the twinkle in that special someone's eyes
And till the day it starts turning for the better
Keep your bellies to the bar and we'll be lonely all together

It's been so long since I felt the warm touch of a lass
The only lip that I've kissed is the lip of my flask
Only kick I gets from gettin' kicked in the ass
If you've been here before then you don't need to ask

And, after another long night with the dregs
I wake up to breakfast of beers & burnt eggs
With a pound in my head and an ache in my legs
And a wonder as to how my life got so sad

Here's a toast to all the lonely guys
Who will never see the twinkle in that special someone's eyes
And till the day it starts turning for the better
Keep your bellies to the bar and we'll be lonely all together

So, I'm sending a kiss to my true love to be
Wherever, whomever she might be
I pray that she's swift on her way here to me
To lead me out of my misery

And, to my fellow drunks at the end of the bar
With no Miss to kiss under these shining stars
Here's hoping your true love, she ain't off too far
If she is, stick around, and I'll buy the next jar
