This came to me while I was riding the bus home today...hope you like it.
The Black & Tan Song
I awoke to hear you crying and asking how we went so far from where we once were to get to where we are Now I got nothing left in life to lose and nothing left to gain so pass the whiskey bottle boys to take the edge off the pain
If you can't give me what I need then give me what you can If you can't give me the time of day then pour me a black and tan I never loved nobody half as much as I loved you coal-black hair and ice-blue eyes what else could I do
Now I ain't got much money but I can always spare a loon for the one-armed man with the slide guitar who's playin Shadows on the Moon He's playin for the old men dying out on the winter streets Singing songs of their victories and songs their numberless defeats
If you can't give me what I need then give me what you can If you can't give me the time of day then pour me one more black and tan I never loved nobody half as much as I loved you I never lied or cheated girl what else could I do
Now they say its never easy for a man to find what he seeks and I ain't been close to sober for a half a dozen weeks But I'll pull myself together I'll get on my feet again I just need a little time to heal and a little more cocaine
If you can't give me what I need then give me what you can If you can't give me the time of day then pour me one last black and tan I never loved nobody half as much as I loved you but in the end all things must pass so what else could I do
I awoke to find I'm dying slowly in this bar wondering how we went from where we once were to get to where we are

This one could be put to music with very little effort. You should send this off to some of the Country western Stars. They are always looking for something like this.
copy write it first

Actually in Canada it is copyrighted as soon as it is written...my posting it on here establishes a date by which I can claim ownership
