Lyrics:

“Three Drinks Behind”

Awe, let’s go, boys

This bar’s where I come to when life gets to me
A night without thinking is just what I need
If it feels like things happen for no reason or rhyme
It’s just that the whole world is three drinks behind

So, set ’em up, Joe
Set ’em up all around
There ain’t no good reason for anyone to feel down
Half empty, half full
It’s all in your state of mind
It’s just that the whole world is three drinks behind

A jukebox, good buddies, and pretty women are here
What we need is a little more love and less fear
It’s not that a dollar ain’t worth a dime
It’s just that the whole world is three drinks behind

So, set ’em up, Joe
Set ’em up all around
There ain’t no good reason for anyone to feel down
Half empty, half full
It’s all in your state of mind
It’s just that the whole world is three drinks behind

So, set ’em up, Joe
Set ’em up all around
There ain’t no good reason for anyone to feel down
Half empty, half full
It’s all in your state of mind
It’s just that the whole world is three drinks behind
It’s just that the whole world is three drinks behind

Three drinks behind
Set ’em up, Joe
Three drinks behind
