lyrics

"Gin Business"
You’re a stand-up guy
For a fall-down drunk
I know you honky-talk-it-up
Singing with a tied-on moonlight funk
Cuz we both know line dancing sucks

And I’d call you country punk
And I’d call you country punk
And I’d call you country punk

Never finished that second fifth
But once or twice you almost did
Then we’d wake up on the skids
And “Let’s get back down to gin business!”

And I’d call you Captain Kid
And I’d call you Captain Kid
And I’d call you Captain Kid

Never finished the second fifth
Get back down to gin business

Never tried to keep a score
Of who knew more whores on the port
But “All is fair in love and war”
So we fight just like Conquistadors

And I’d call you Senor Roar
And I’d call you Senor Roar
And I’d call you country punk
And I’d call you Captain Kid
And I’d call you Senor Roar
Maybe I won’t call you - anymore
