Drunk As Cooter Brown Songtext / Lyric

He was drunk as Cooter Brown

Words fell from his tongue

With a slurring silver sound

He come this way from the other side of town



He was drunk as Cooter Brown

And his coat hung 'round his shoulders

With a gangster's tone

A 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



While the world was spinning around us

And people started to stare

But I just didn't care

I just couldn't move

I was was floating on air






I knew

We two

Were drunk as Cooter Brown

Soooo...



[Instrumental]



He blamed the warmth of the evening

I blamed the circle 'round the moon

We spoke as if in solitude



While the world was spreading around us

And people started to sing

I just didn't care

I couldn't move

We were floating on air



Yes...

I knew

I too



Was drunk as Cooter Brown

I was just one step away

From that drunk to the floor sound

A lady's grace

I claimed to hold my ground



But I was drunk as Cooter Brown

While he poured the cup of his hand

Fell my old beau just to be sure

I wouldn't fall for a man like him in June



I blamed the warmth of the evening

And he blamed the circle 'round the moon

We spoke as if in solitude



While the world was spinning around us

And people started to sing

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



Crazy!



'Cause... so warm... so warm tonight...

Drunk as cooter brown... I'm high on life...

Excuse me sir...



Humming...



Hey!
