Lyrics

Drinking and Thinking
©2009 Jane McGuffin

They say that love's a tattered mire,
They say that love's an iron chain,
They say that love burns like a fire,
That no two women are the same.
So I'm drinking and thinking,
about Mary Lou.

So I'm thinking and drinking about Mary Lou,
when the cold winter comes I'll be thinking about you.
I had a dream you were all dressed in blue,
If I follow my heart I can never be true.

CHORUS:

A glass of wine to pass the time,
A glass of beer, she sheds a tear.
If I could fly out over the plain,
To the valley of love I'd be home again.

BRIDGE: Instrumental

CHORUS:

A glass of wine to pass the time,
A glass of beer, she sheds a tear
Summertime love blows away in the fall,
On the edge of the wind by the green waterfall.
