Can't Drink Enough To Sing


Capo 2

Intro:

A


Verse:

 A
Dale was painfully shy back in high school
                                               E
But he worked up the nerve and bought Karla a ring

A                          D
He hits the open mic every Friday

A                  E         A
But he can't drink enough to sing


His mama says he shakes his leg like Elvis
His daddy says he does no such thing
He hits the open mic every Friday
But he can't drink enough to sing


Chorus:

(And Karla says)

E                            D    A
Honey would you like another whiskey

    E                               D   A
I'd love it if you'd get up on that stage

E                                D   A
Honey, I know you think singin's risky

            D                             E
But you've written out the lyrics on the page


Fill - A


Verse:

Sweat drips off his brow into his bourbon
With just the thought of bangin on them strings
He hits the open mic every Friday 
But he can't drink enough to sing

Karla huffs and comes on to the waiter
She looks around and fiddles with her ring
She hits the open mic with him on Friday
But he can't drink enough to sing

Chorus

Fill- A


Verse:

Dale wakes up face down on his mama's driveway
With torn up lyrics and a thrown out ring
He won't hit the open mic next Friday
Cause he can't drink enough to sing

Chorus (and his mama says)

Dale was painfully shy back in high school
But he worked up the nerve and bought Karla a ring
He hits the open mic every Friday
But he can't drink enough to sing

No he can't drink enough to sing
