Drink Yer Glasses Empty Gordon Lightfoot

[Verse 1]
Listen up and I'll tell you what you'll do
Forget about music and alcohol too
Forget about yer baby, we got other work for you
Better drink yer glasses empty now, it's time to rise 'n' shine
There's one less cause in the world to be leavin' for

[Verse 2]
It was back in '39 when I was one year old
Sitting by the backyard fence and the world had turned so cold
Drink yer glasses empty now was all that they were told

[Chorus]
Drink yer glasses girls and boys, it's time to hit the sky
To the tune of thunder, there's no time to wonder why

[Verse 3]
We'd love to take life over, that is plain
Forget about sorrow, forget about pain
And watch a John Wayne movie to remind us once again
Better drink yer glasses empty now, it's time to hit the line
You got one less cause in the world to be leavin' for

[Chorus]
Drink yer glasses girls and boys, it's time to hit the sky
To the tune of thunder, there's a tear in every eye
