I’m Gonna Hire A Wino(To Decorate Our Home) Lyrics by David Frizzell
I came crawling home last night, like many nights beforeI finally made it to my feet as she opened up the door.And she said, “You’re not gonna do this anymore.”
She said: "I’m gonna’ hire a wino to decorate our home,“So you’ll feel more at ease here, and you won’t have to roam.“We’ll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall.“And a neon sign, to point the way, to our bathroom down the hall.”
She said: "Just bring your Friday paycheck, and I’ll cash them all right here.“And I’ll keep on tap – for all your friends, their favorite kinds of beer.“And for you, I’ll always keep in stock, those soft aluminum cans.“And when you’re feeling macho, you can crush them like a man.”
She said: "We’ll rip out all the carpet, and put sawdust on the floor.“Serve hard boiled eggs and pretzels, and I won’t cook no more.“There’ll be Monday night football, on T.V. above the bar.“And a pay phone in the hallway, when your friends can’t find their car.”
She said: "You’ll get friendly service, and Friday atmosphere.“I’ll slip on something sexy, and I’ll cut it clear to here.“Then you can slap my bottom, every time you tell a joke.“Just as long as you keep tipping, well, I’ll laugh until you’re broke.”
Reminds me of going to football games with my dad. He’d always want to leave at the end of the third quarter “to beat the traffic.” We missed some great comebacks that way.
Keith would have some great stories. I’d probably invite Dave Grohl, though.In every interview I’ve ever seen with him, he’s been funny, smart, humble, and passionate about music. He doesn’t seem to take himself too seriously. His mom’s a teacher, so I’d probably invite her to come along.
