When you try to drown a memory from your mind

It took me fifteen beers to get here

I don’t know how many more till I leave

Take my change in tears and drink fifteen beers

Well I rolled into Joe’s about six-fifteen

And I was ready to pour ‘em down

Because at eight o’clock Delilah was a-meeting me there

Well I thought I’d have me a pour just to loosen up

Cause we were really gonna swing tonight

I could already see her face and touch her long red hair

Well at nine thirty-five I thought man a live

What could be a-holding her up

Just then a man in a long black Cadillac came in

And told little Joe filler up

While he was cleaning off the windows and guess who he saw

In the back laying soft as rain

It was Delilah sipping on pink champagne

I drank fifteen beers that’s a whole lot of brew for one man

When you try to drown a memory from your mind

It took me fifteen beers to forget you

I don’t know how many more to just get

While he holds Delilah near I’ll drink my fifteen beers

I drank fifteen beers that’s a whole lot of brew in one night

When you try to drown a memory from your mind

It took me fifteen beers to get here

I don’t know how many more till I leave

Take my change in tears and drink fifteen beers
