Two at a Time

Well, I got a couple old friends

And we drink from time to time

And we buy the finest bourbon

And we drain 'em bottles dry

If you asked me for another

Well, friend, I wouldn't bat my eye

I'd just pour you a double

'Cause we take 'em two at a time

Here we go, boy

Driving eastbound on I-80

Crossing state and county lines

Counting miles back to Lincoln

And we was driving through all night

Smoking spirits of America

And feeling heavy in the eyes

Popping pills just to stay up

Just to keep 'er 'tween the lines

And I take 'em two at a time

Well, it's a long way to heaven

Even if you're living right

But I know I need forgiveness

To atone for all my crimes

But on the day that I meet Jesus

I'm gonna look him in the eye

Say, "My list, it's a long one

Could you take 'em two at a time?"
