I Drank That Barrel Down

© 2005, Music by Urs Odermatt

Words by Urs Odermatt & L. Steele

I've been gone too long

There ain't no end in sight

Lord, please help me make it

Round just one more bend

Gonna tell y'all a story

How I saved my poor ol' horse

We'd been through so much together

I really had no choice

Drank drank drank that barrel down

Folks sure were surprised

when I staggered into town

Perched high upon a cliff

with the devil down below

I drank that barrel down

Was a mighty fine Merlot

Well the road was gettin' narrow

And I had to lead the way

Took my horses reins in hand

And then began to pray

Them rocks they sure were jagged

Hoped we'd make it safe to town

Things were looking pretty good

Till them rocks came tumblin' down

Drank drank drank that barrel down

Folks sure were surprised

when I staggered into town

Perched high upon a cliff

with the devil down below

I drank that barrel down

Was a mighty fine Merlot

I felt the devil's breath

As them rocks flew round my head

Thought he'd come for me at last

But my horse got hit instead

Could see him start to sway

One barrel was smashed in two

That weight became his fate

Only one thing left to do...

Drank drank drank that barrel down

Folks sure were surprised

when I staggered into town

Perched high upon a cliff

with the devil down below

I drank that barrel down

Was a mighty fine Merlot
