lyrics

Draft Beer For Ten Dimes
© & (p) 1994 Bunj Jam Music


He said
Are you gonna shoot some pool
Or am I gonna have to listen to you
Shoot off your mouth off the rest of the night
I said
Settle down boy
And that's as far as it got
And like I was employed and he was my boss
He says
Hey boy
No one man ever called me boy

And it was draft beer for ten dimes
And I'd been saving mine
Wanting to unwind
And it looked like I had the most right
To be the most tight
That night

Now I didn't mean to yank him the wrong way
You know I had a bad day at work
The kind where nothing ever seems to work

And I had on my favorite worst shirt
And I could visualize
Him lying tummy down
Eating a little bit of pool hall dirt

(Chorus)

And as usual the regulars were there
And they said they would find it
Unusual or irregular
If I didn't get a little fresh blood or dirt
On my favorite worst shirt

They said who ever stood in his way was something stupid
Or even semi-smart to say
Would soon lack a few teeth
And be found on his back
Down
Hurting bad for about a week

And it was draft beer for ten dimes
And I'd been saving mine
Wanting to unwind
And it looked like HE had the most right
To be the most tight
That night

Todd plays this song in “double drop D” (Both E strings dropped down to D)
With the capo on the 4th fret. Chords include: F#, E, B, B#, & A
