And drink cool H2O
VERSE 1:

Well, me and a couple of good ol' boys
F
Took a taxi ride downtown
A#

C F
Waiting for the man to come around

Lined up ten tequilas

Lined up a twenty chase of beer

Said, "Don't you ever come back in here!"

Please Johnny, just a one more shot
A# C
Drink water, Lord, that liquor is hot, drink water
F
Somebody took the bottle top off
VERSE 2:
F
We would shoot a bitch our stares
F
Acutely aware of the state we was in
A#
Met a nun called Mary in a strip joint
C F
Said she'd guide us through the city of sin
F
Bought a thousand Marlboro Reds
F
We got a quart of Bombay gin
A# C F
Looking for salvation in some out-of-town Comfort Inn
F
Then Johnny busted down the door
F
King James Bible in his hand
A#
Eyes burning with a rapture
C F
He'd seen the angels in the Promised Land
F
Well, I could hear that train a-comin', Lord
F
My mind was going 'round the bend
A#
The good ol' boys put the bottle top on the floor
C F
They'd never touch a drop again
BRIDGE:
Johnny said,
F
Your eyes are baggy and a bloodshot red
F
It's been a week or two since you've been in bed
A#
You better pay attention now to what I said
C F
You better leave that junk alone and drink water
F
You come home feeling for the knob on the door
F
You better pick up your feet, you're gonna fall on the floor
A#
I keep on telling you, I'll tell you some more
C F
You better leave that junk alone and drink water
F
Now I'll forgive you for your running around
F
If you just promise that you'll come unwound
A#
I'll buy you anything you want in town
C F
If you'll leave that junk alone
