Rewrite: WHAT MAKES MILWAUKEE FAMOUS (HAS MADE A LOSER OUT OF ME) (from the album ANOTHER PLACE ANOTHER TIME)

 Beer 

It’s all about beer

Whether the brewery is far or somewhere near


Beer

The froth the foam

Whether I stay or whether I roam


The taste can be wonderful, or taste like piss

Here in Milwaukee we got both kinds

Mix it with orange peels and melon rinds

Once I start there is only one stopping point

Me hitting on your lady and you hitting me to the floor

 God knows I should stop, just quit

God knows I’ve done it a million times

But see,

It’s the devil holding a cold one for me

 The only love I have left is from a bottle

Or a can

On a good night I can barely stand

The taste as it flows from my throat 

To my brain

There’s nothing like it

I live for it, probably die from it

God knows I should stop, just quit

God knows I’ve done it a million times

But see,

It’s the devil holding a cold one for me

Yeah, I should blame myself, or maybe my folks

I could go to a meeting, I’ve stood outside plenty a church basement

But what I have when my money is spent

 Is beer, cold refreshing, beer

Disconnecting me from the world

Beer is my best girl

God knows I should stop, just quit

God knows I’ve done it a million times

But see,

It’s the devil holding a cold one for me

A cold one for me

 A cold one for me
