DRUNK AS COOTER BROWN

He was drunk as Cooter Brown Words fell from his tongue With a slurring silver sound He hung his swing from the other side of town He was drunk as Cooter Brown And his coat hung round his shoulders With a gangster's tone The stylish man no woman leaves alone He blamed the warmth of the evening I blamed the circle round the moon We spoke as if in solitude But the world was spinning around us And people started to stare But I just didn't care I just didn't move I was floating on air I knew we two were drunk as Cooter Brown He blamed the warmth of the evening I blamed the circle round the moon We spoke as if in solitude But the world was spinning around us And people started to stare But I just didn't care We couldn't move We were floating on air I knew I too was drunk as Cooter Brown I was just one step away from that drop to the floor A lady's grace I claimed to hold my ground But I was drunk as Cooter Brown While he poured the cup on his hand Around my elbow just to be sure I wouldn't fall from there like a hanging etude I blamed the warmth of the evening And he blamed the circle round the moon We spoke as if in solitude But the world was spinning around us And people started to stare But I just didn't care I just couldn't move I was floating on air I knew we two were drunk as Cooter Brown Yes we were drunk as Cooter Brown So warm it's so warm tonight Drunk as Cooter Brown and high on love
