Intro

Verse One

Another night in the red light, like the last night, and the night before

Sarah's there on her doorstep, looking like her life was pulled from her

So now she's hanging with us tonight, there's a party on the blocks of the Belmont square

With no work the next day... Ohhh, you're free to play

Chorus One (Part 1)

Ok Sarah, don't worry about it, it'll be just fine

Ok Sarah, don't worry about it, we'll be just fine

Chorus One (Part 2)

Cause the drinks ain't gonna drink themselves,

Cause these drinks ain't gonna, drinks ain't gonna...

Drinks ain't gonna drink themselves

Verse Two

And so what if they let you go, you had made a dollar more but your time was always gone

Disavow...Your responsibilities, now you do what you please

And I grab her hand, plucked from the plans of a simple life, just tonight...

So let's... forget this night underway

Chorus Two (Part 1)Same as Chorus One (Part 1). Tap to open.

Ok Sarah, don't worry about it, it'll be just fine

Ok Sarah, don't worry about it, we'll be just fine

Chorus Two (Part 2)Same as Chorus One (Part 2). Tap to open.

Cause the drinks ain't gonna drink themselves,

Cause these drinks ain't gonna, drinks ain't gonna...

Drinks ain't gonna drink themselves

Bridge

We're not going home, At least not alone...

Verse Three

Now look at you, you're such a mess...

Mascara running down and your lipstick on your dress

You got no job, you got nowhere to be

Quickly seeing the upside of poverty

Chorus Three (Part 1)Same as Chorus One (Part 1). Tap to open.

Ok Sarah, don't worry about it, it'll be just fine

Ok Sarah, don't worry about it, we'll be just fine

Chorus Three (Part 2)Same as Chorus One (Part 2). Tap to open.

Cause the drinks ain't gonna drink themselves,

Cause these drinks ain't gonna, drinks ain't gonna...

Drinks ain't gonna drink themselves

Chorus Four (Part 2 only)Same as Chorus One (Part 2). Tap to open.

Cause the drinks ain't gonna drink themselves,

Cause these drinks ain't gonna, drinks ain't gonna...

Drinks ain't gonna drink themselves
