Effortless Binge

by Alex McMurray Velvety Pod Music (BMI)

I like walking

what a way for a man to get around

aching and shaking the dust from my shoes

 

I got a girl

except she don't know about me

she itches and twitches

and bottles up on the sly

I’m playing a fool’s game

my oh my

 

I’m on an effortless binge

don't the springtime feel good to you

like you’re kicking it in your jewel suit

with the dimes on the fringe

I’m on an effortless binge

I got the goods in my pocket

I got my love in a locket

I’m gonna fly off this hinge

 

I’ve been missing

buddy long since before that old war

rovin and ramblin from town to town

you take a job

you find yourself your favorite hole

you dance like the school boy

who paid for the kisses he stole

while all of the men folk are down digging coal

 

Chorus

 

it’s a family reunion

just her, me and old grand dad

if I wasn’t feeling so good

I’d be feeling so bad

 

I fell in love

yeah there’s lots worse mistakes to be made

the curse of the drunkard

that don’t know his heart

I’ll settle up

she comes in at a quarter to ten

the lady she’s taken

and I’m only faking again

and there’s a new bender waiting

around the next bend

 

I’m on an effortless binge

don’t the springtime feel good to you

like you’re kicking it in your jewel suit

with the dimes on the fringe

I’m on an effortless binge

I got the goods in my pocket

either way I’m gonna rock it

Im gonna fly off this hinge

 

I’m on an effortless binge
