Wave away your cigarette
Point it to the sky
Lean against your shadow girl
Oh me, Oh me, Oh my
Hey there friend, won’t you reach down deep
Set them glasses all in a row
And fill them all up a thousand times each
Or until it’s time to go
I prefer to lean against one who can barely stand
You just might prefer a drinking man
No, I don’t know no miners, my friend
Or dusty stories from the long hard road
I am no witness to the plight of the nameless
I guess I’m just your average Joe
I prefer to lean against one who can barely stand
You just might prefer a drinking man
There are no gifts that you can give
Just favors unreturned
Love will come to break your heart
This much I have learned
I prefer to lean against one who can barely stand
You just might prefer a drinking man
Wave away your cigarette
Point it to the sky
Lean against your shadow girl
Oh me, Oh me, Oh my
