The jukebox pacifies 'em all night long

Suckin' on a longneck bottle keeps their mouth shut for a while 
    C 
The bartender's just a babysitter,  
 
Give another bottle and make 'em feel better,  
 
Sittin' 'round playin' there little games together 
                                F 
Cryin' for their momma's that's gone  
 
 
 
She dropped him off on the way to work

When he's drinkin' he ain't the smartest man in town
