lyrics

Love at First Drink © 2004 Cowboy Bob Sawyer

Well it all seemed to happen on a Sat’day nite,
the moon was full & the stars were bright
I’d just gone into town to wet my whistle at the local inn,

I wasn’t lookin for trouble, I had a plan,
I was lookin to see that bartender man,
And drown my weekly sorrows in a bottle of gin

I’d just finished drinkin up my first round or five,
my courage was up, I was feelin alive
I was lookin through the bottom of my glass,
when I saw her standing there

I turned my head, to see who was there,
but I guess it was me she was giving that stare
I’m tellin you guys, I think my luck was about to change


Cause she was blonde, tall & thin, with a come and get me grin,
and I shoulda known right & there that my ship was sank,
But I was in love, with anything that moved,
and then she moved me
yeah, I was in love… love at first drink….

Well she batted them long blonde lashes at me,
my knees got weak, she’s just gotta be
That angel I’d been prayin long & hard for since I was a teen.

I jumped off my stool & headed her way,
I was thinkin of sumpin suave & deboner to say
When this truck in a leather jacket, spun her around

I stopped dead in my tracks, & started to leave,
But then she turned around, hell she was lookin at me,
And I swear I saw a look of fear a coming from her eyes
Well I’m not usually the fighting kind,
I say live and let live that’s my state of mind,
But then she started to cry and I turned into one of them super guys

Cause she was blonde, tall & thin, with a come and get me grin,
and I shoulda known right & there that my ship was sank,
But I was in love, with anything that moved,
and then she moved me
yeah, I was in love… love at first drink….

Well I grabbed me a chair, broke it over his head,
He just turned around, that’s when I knew I was dead,
I tell ya this guy was one big muscle with broken teeth

I needed something fast to even this race,
so I got me a bottle, smashed it cross his face
He just spit out the glass and smiled, man, I was too deep

Then he grabbed him a table and held it up in the air,
I didnt wanna be around to see where it'd land
I just grabbed ol’ angel eyes by the arm and headed out that bar

Well Lady luck musta been with me that night,
cause when he threw the table he was off to the right
and It crashed through the window, as we hi-tailed it out to the car

There’s a moral to this story thats gotta be told,
if your out gettin schnockered & your feelin kinda bold
And a certain little angel comes a knockin ‘cross your door

You better turn and run, you better head for the hills
Cause your gonna be sorry when you get the bill
Cause I’m tellin ya guys, she’ll have ya comin back for more

Cause she’ll be blonde, tall & thin, with a come and get me grin,
and ya better know right then & there that yer ship is sank,
But you’ll be in love, oo’ with anything that moves,
then she’ll move ya, oh you’ll be in love,
Love at 1st drink
