A
Ah, but nothin' lasts forever
D
And friends are friends no more
E
And oh, the redneck armchair
A
Lies dickered on the floor
A
The doctor says I gotta quit

The cans and quarts of beer
E
And so the journey forward
A
Is evidently clear
A
Ah, but when the nights are cold and dark
D
And the hours roll away
E
I think of all the good times
A
We had that winter's day
A
So carve it on the marble boys

When I am in the ground
A
They call me Ray from Rodney

I am the liquor now!

I am the liquor now!)
