I Be Popping Bottles Sparkles And Champagne

Bottles and bibles Litter the floor An all night revival Passed out around 4:00 Now the preacher's been drinkin' But it's hard not to do Since she ran out the screen door And swore they were through Oh Lord, if you care, send a spirit down here 'Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again But it's a hard way to go, on the straight and narrow When everybody in town points a finger at you But they ain't had to walk with the weight that you've hauled They don't know you at all, but they think that they do He didn't believe her He just knew she'd come home But the nights kept a-crawlin' As he laid there alone He'd call up to Heaven He'd hope and he'd pray But the line's always busy Since he went astray Oh Lord, if you care, won't you answer his prayers 'Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again But it's a hard way to go, on the straight and narrow When everybody in town points a finger at you But they ain't had to walk with the weight that you've hauled They don't know you at all, but they think that they do Now the bottles and bibles Broke out in a fight The whiskey fought hard, son And took the victory that night They found him a-layin' Face down by the stairs Dressed up for a sermon Nobody would hear Oh Lord, if you care, send your angels down here 'Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again But it's a hard way to go, on the straight and narrow When everybody in town points a finger at you But they ain't had to walk with the weight that you've hauled They don't know you at all, but they think that they do So Lord, if you care, send your angels down here 'Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again

Sitting here thinking About the times I've roamed Different girls that I've ever known Of all the girls that I have met You are the one girl that I can't forget Listen We had our time now Good and bad now I can't forget 'em And I sure ain't gon' forget 'em now Remember Side Street Where we used to meet Making love, nobody but you and me Champagne and wine That's what you gon' get Champagne and wine What it's gon' be Just as long, girl, as you see about me I'm gon' be knocking on your door I want the same love that I had before Listen I'm a man now, full grown man You got me eating from the tip of your hand I don't mind eating Long as you feed me Good love and good ol' sympathy Every day is gonna just be like Sunday Every night you're gonna have stars in the sky Ooh, giving you champagne and wine I'm gonna give it to you, ooh, ooh wee Ooh, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Ooh-wee, baby, giving you champagne and wine I would just love you, baby I really do need you, honey Really do want you, baby Really do love you, honey Ooh-wee

Cigarettes and champagne You break through the outside and look right into me Now nothing feels the same I guess I should have learned this long ago But I always kept my eyes on the ground This world just got too loud We've got friends, we've got places to go But I can't take my eyes off of you We've got time, we could take this slow But I can't keep my hands off of you No one knows me quite the way you do Cigarettes and champagne I want to sleep beside you at the end of the world When there's no one left to get in our way Your cold hand clings to mine, walking home And your eyelashes catch the snow You know I love you so The freckles on your shoulders and this burning in my eyes When I just can't find the right words to say All these blurry eyed mornings and confessions in the night I love the way you keep me awake We've got friends, we've got places to go But I can't take my eyes off of you We've got time, we could take this slow But I can't keep my hands off of you No one knows me quite the way you do No one loves me quite the way you do

You are, to me, as good as apple pie As summer in Hawaii, as stars up in the sky Your love fits me, like my designer jeans Like flowers in the Spring, like a movie on the screen 'Cause you and I are an item Nothing can break us, nothing can make us fall apart We're forever mated like champagne and caviar We are as one, as Carson and TV As Englishmen and tea, as fishermen and sea We're just as strong as cages in a zoo As strong as crazy glue, or red dye number two 'Cause you and I are an item Nothing can break us, nothing can make us fall apart We're forever mated like champagne and caviar We seem to blend like guys do Like spices in a stew, like Fred and Dooby-doo We're here to stay, as long as Everest Or cowboys in the west, together we're the best 'Cause you and I are an item Nothing can break us, nothing can make us fall apart We're forever mated like champagne and caviar We stick together, like champagne and caviar We are an item, like champagne and caviar

I drink rum and whiskey, my baby champagne and wine I drink rum and whiskey, my baby champagne and wine But when the lights are turned down low Our love is one of a kind I like meat and potatoes, she likes her, caviar I like meat and potatoes, she likes her, caviar A love like ours, is brighter than a shooting star I like my music heavy, she don't like, rock and roll I like my music heavy, she don't like, rock and roll My baby is such sweet thing, I'll never let her go I like my Chevy, she like her, foreign cars I like my Chevy, she like her, foreign cars I'll love her all over this earth, I'll even love her on mars I drink rum and whiskey, my baby champagne and wine I drink rum and whiskey, my baby champagne and wine But when the lights are turned down low I'll love her to the end of time
