Drink Yer Glasses Empty - Gordon Lightfoot



Listen up and I'll tell you what you'll do

Forget about music and alcohol to

Forget about yer baby, we've got other work for you

Better drink yer glasses empty now, it's time to rise 'n shine

There's one less cause in the world to be leavin' for



It was back in '39 when I was one year old

Sitting by the backyard fence and the world had turned to cold

Drink yer glasses empty now was all that they were told

Drink yer glasses girls and boys, it's time to hit the sky

To the tune of thunder, there's no time to wonder why



We'd love to take life over, that is plain

Forget about sorrow, forget about pain

And watch a John Wayne movie to remind us once again

Better drink yer glasses empty now, it's time to hit the line

You got one less cause in the world to be leavin' for

Drink yer glasses girls and boys, it's time to hit the sky

To the tune of thunder, there's a tear in every eye



I'd like to take things one at a time

Forget about reason, forget about rhyme

Because beg, steal, or borrow you got another hill to climb

So drink yer glasses empty now, it's time to hit the road

There's one less cause in the world to be leavin' for

Drink yer glasses girls and boys, it's time to hit the sky

To the tune of thunder, there's no time to wonder why



We'd like to take life over again

When time of war had passed away into the rain

And watch a John Wayne movie to remind us of the planes

Just drink yer glasses empty now, it's time to rise 'n shine

There's one less cause in the world to be leavin' for
