Bukowski Blues
Now I'll tell you something that's never been so true
I could use another drink and I could use one two
So don't you worry mama, don't you worry bout me
Cus the lowlife dreams like Bukowski
Sitting in the park up on Washington Street
Looking at the girls, man just looking at the girls
Gotta brown-bag lunch made of barley and rye
Ain't no better meal to keep you satisfied
And I'll drink them up and I'll drink them down
Yea I'll drink that shit all over town
I'll drink them clean and I'll drink them neat
And I'll drink them sloppy and slide off my seat
Yea I'll tell you something that's never been so true
I could use another drink and I could use one two
So don't you worry mama, don't you worry bout me
Cus the lowlife dreams like Bukowski
Don't care if it's Jack, Jim, or John
Pappy Van Winkle or Jameson
Tullamore Dew or Makers Mark
Wild Turkey, Old Crow, or Cutty Sark
Cus All of my friends are with me for sure
They keep me warm when I sleep on the floor
They keep me hip when I'm feeling bored
They don't let me dry like them before
Cus I'll tell you something that's never been so true
I could use another drink and I could use one two
So don't you worry mama, don't you worry bout me
Cus the lowlife dreams like Bukowski
Yea all the lowlife dream like Bukowski
Yea the lowlike dream like Bukowski
All the lowlife dream like Bukowski
Yea the lowlife dream
Now I'll tell you something that's never been so true
I could use another drink and I could use one two
So don't you worry mama, don't you worry bout me
Cus the lowlife dreams like Bukowski
Sitting in the park up on Washington Street
Looking at the girls, man just looking at the girls
Gotta brown-bag lunch made of barley and rye
Ain't no better meal to keep you satisfied
And I'll drink them up and I'll drink them down
Yea I'll drink that shit all over town
I'll drink them clean and I'll drink them neat
And I'll drink them sloppy and slide off my seat
Yea I'll tell you something that's never been so true
I could use another drink and I could use one two
So don't you worry mama, don't you worry bout me
Cus the lowlife dreams like Bukowski
Don't care if it's Jack, Jim, or John
Pappy Van Winkle or Jameson
Tullamore Dew or Makers Mark
Wild Turkey, Old Crow, or Cutty Sark
Cus All of my friends are with me for sure
They keep me warm when I sleep on the floor
They keep me hip when I'm feeling bored
They don't let me dry like them before
Cus I'll tell you something that's never been so true
I could use another drink and I could use one two
So don't you worry mama, don't you worry bout me
Cus the lowlife dreams like Bukowski
Yea all the lowlife dream like Bukowski
Yea the lowlike dream like Bukowski
All the lowlife dream like Bukowski
Yea the lowlife dream
