This song escaped my figuring it out for quite a while but the other 
night I was at a Roger Creager show (Oyster Bake 2006 – San Antonio)
and was talking with the lead player for Roger (Matt) and he 
pulled out 2 guitars and we played it. Many thanks to Matt for his
help! Now the chord name on the 2nd and last chord I am not sure of
but the finger placement is correct as well as the sound.

A7      - X02020
A#/A    - X12020
Bm      - X24432
Adim2   - X76555



Chorus:
  A7         A#/A         Bm             Adim2 
I say when I drink what I think when I'm sober
   A7         A#/A       Bm            Adim2
It loosens my tongue and makes me feel bolder
A7  A#/A       Bm    Adim2  A7      A#/A   Bm       Adim2
    I'm in the mo-o-o-od    to do a little drinking tonight
A7         A#/A Bm            Adim2
Like it or not, this is on my mind
        A7       A#/A          Bm           Adim2
I could sit here silent or get drunk and confide
  A7      A#/A   Bm          Adim2            A7  A#/A  Bm   Adim2
Barkeepe another round and I can't keep it inside


Spoken by Roger:
Excuse Miss, could I buy you a cocktail?
You're so pretty and I just love the way that you...hey
Are those real? Huh? Oh, no I mean your eyes, of course
They're so beautiful and hey, where you going?


Chorus


Spoken by Radney:
Roger, there are existential, physical and spiritual reasons
Why man cannot live by bread alone
It's not a simple thing in life
It's very complex, it takes a long time and it's excellent
What is it, Radney?
Brisket and beer


Chorus (By Radney)

Instrumental

Spoken by Roger:
Now a friend of mine that drinks an alarming amount
Tells me it's not what goes in a man's mouth that defiles him but rather what comes out
So as I sit her tonight, I worry not about what I'm drinking
But rather how much I'm speaking ‘cause it seems every time


Chorus (Both)
