Drunk As Cooter Brown Lyrics

He was drunk as Cooter Brown Words fell from his tongue With a slurring silver sound He come this way from the other side of town
He was drunk as Cooter Brown And his coat hung 'round his shoulders With a gangster's tone A stylish man no woman leaves alone
He blamed the warmth of the evening I blamed the circle 'round the moon We spoke as if in solitude
While the world was spinning around us And people started to stare But I just didn't care I just couldn't move I was was floating on air
I knew We two Were drunk as Cooter Brown Soooo...
[Instrumental]
He blamed the warmth of the evening I blamed the circle 'round the moon We spoke as if in solitude
While the world was spreading around us And people started to sing I just didn't care I couldn't move We were floating on air
Yes... [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/drunk-as-cooter-brown-lyrics-cassandra-wilson.html ] I knew I too
Was drunk as Cooter Brown I was just one step away From that drunk to the floor sound A lady's grace I claimed to hold my ground
But I was drunk as Cooter Brown While he poured the cup of his hand Fell my old beau just to be sure I wouldn't fall for a man like him in June
I blamed the warmth of the evening And he blamed the circle 'round the moon We spoke as if in solitude
While the world was spinning around us And people started to sing But i just didn't care I just couldn't move I was floating on air
I knew We two Were drunk as Cooter Brown
Yes, we were drunk as Cooter Brown
Crazy!
'Cause...so warm...so warm tonight... Drunk as cooter brown...I'm high on life... Excuse me sir...
Humming...
Hey!
