What Have You Got To Lose

[Verse 1:] Well, I've been in some bars Where they serve it in big silver goblets and pewter and brass And I've been in some joints Where they serve it in paper cups and maybe an old water glass But it's always the same in the old drinking game When you drink and you try to forget One woman who loved you and another who didn't And I ain't seen one winner yet [Chorus:] What have you got to lose[x2] Try women and booze and the cigarette blues What have you got to lose [Verse 2:] Well, I've been in some towns with some high rollin heavies And I know some unknown new stars The big equalizer is a good drink of liquor When they all belly up to the bar Some cry for fame, some cry for money And some people reach for the stars But when a honky tonk heart starts crying for a honky tonk You can't get a word in edgewise [Chorus] [Verse 3:] Now an old country boy just can't sit on the porch And watch while the world passed by No, he's got to be part of some social endeavour So he gets him a jug and he tries He'll play that old jukebox and chase them old hides About daylight come to in his room When that sun's coming up, he's about halfway to hell And about half way back home around noon [Chorus][x2]
