Raise a Toast

I drink to your health and all

Wasted livers dancing to

The tune of drunken whiskey men all in harmony

And even when you say it all

For kicks and giggles heard through the wall

Of lonesome faces punch drunk traces

Living through the weekend zoo

But I know I could treat you right

A memory dancing on the wall

We'll sit around the fire and rest in peace for hours

A toast for all the raspy blues

Sewn in taverns sung for you

Dim the lights and listen to

My beating blue heart

And even when you cry to me

That this whole world is insanity

I can listen to you talk of things that have no interest to me

But I know I could treat you right

A memory dancing on my wall

We could sit around the fire and dance for hours
