Roadhouse Blues - The Doors

played loud in a bar, beer in hand... its sumptuousness encapsulated :cool:




Yeah Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel
Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel
Yeah, we're goin' to the Roadhouse
We're gonna have a real
Good time

Yeah, back at the Roadhouse they got some bungalows
Yeah, back at the Roadhouse they got some bungalows
And that's for the people
Who like to go down slow

Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, all night long

Do it, honey, do it

You gotta roll, roll, roll
You gotta thrill my soul, all right
Roll, roll, roll, roll
Thrill my soul
You gotta beep a gunk a chucha
Honk konk konk
You gotta each you puna
Each ya bop a luba
Each yall bump a kechonk
Ease sum konk
Ya, ride

Ashen lady, Ashen lady
Give up your vows, give up your vows
Save our city, save our city
Right now

Well, I woke up this morning, I got myself a beer
Well, I woke up this morning, and I got myself a beer
The future's uncertain, and the end is always near

Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, all night long
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Wanna tell you a story,
    about the house-man blues
    I come home one Friday,
    had to tell the landlady I'd-a lost my job
    She said that don't confront me,
    long as I get my money next Friday
    Now next Friday come I didn't get the rent,
    and out the door I went

    So I goes to the landlady,
    I said, "You let me slide?"
    I'll have the rent for you in a month.
    next I don't know
    So said let me slide it on you know people,
    I notice when I come home in the evening
    She ain't got nothing nice to say to me,
    but for five year she was so nice
    Loh' she was lovy-dovy,
    I come home one particular evening
    The landlady said, "You got the rent money yet?",
    I said, "No, can't find no job"
    Therefore I ain't got no money to pay the rent
    She said "I don't believe you're tryin' to find no job"
    Said "I seen you today you was standin' on a corner,
    leaning up against a post"
    I said "But I'm tired, I've been walkin' all day"
    She said "That don't confront me,
    long as I get my money next Friday"
    Now next Friday come I didn't have the rent,
    and out the door I went

    So I go down the streets,
    down to my good friend's house
    I said "Look man I'm outdoors you know,
    can I stay with you maybe a couple days?"
    He said "Let me go and ask my wife"
    He come out of the house,
    I could see it in his face
    I know that was no
    He said "I don't know man, ah she kinda funny, you know"
    I said "I know, everybody funny, now you funny too"
    So I go back home
    I tell the landlady I got a job, I'm gonna pay the rent
    She said "Yeah?" I said "Oh yeah"
    And then she was so nice,
    loh' she was lovy-dovy
    So I go in my room, pack up my things and I go,
    I slip on out the back door and down the streets I go
    She a-howlin' about the front rent, she'll be lucky to get any back rent,
    she ain't gonna get none of it
    So I stop in the local bar you know people,
    I go to the bar, I ring my coat, I call the bartender
    Said "Look man, come down here", he got down there
    So what you want?

    One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
    Well I ain't seen my baby since I don't know when,
    I've been drinking bourbon, whiskey, scotch and gin
    Gonna get high man I'm gonna get loose,
    need me a triple shot of that juice
    Gonna get drunk don't you have no fear
    I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer
    One bourbon, one scotch, one beer

    But I'm sitting now at the bar,
    I'm getting drunk, I'm feelin' mellow
    I'm drinkin' bourbon, I'm drinkin' scotch, I'm drinkin' beer
    Looked down the bar, here come the bartender
    I said "Look man, come down here"
    So what you want?

    One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
    No I ain't seen my baby since the night before last,
    gotta get a drink man I'm gonna get gassed
    Gonna get high man I ain't had enough,
    need me a triple shot of that stuff
    Gonna get drunk won't you listen right here,
    I want one bourbon, one shot and one beer
    One bourbon, one scotch, one beer

    Now by this time I'm plenty high,
    you know when your mouth a-getting dry you're plenty high
    Looked down the bar I say to my bartender
    I said "Look man, come down here", he got down there
    So what you want this time?
    I said "Look man, a-what time is it?"
    He said "The clock on the wall say three o'clock
    Last call for alcohol, so what you need?"

    One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
    No I ain't seen my baby since a nigh' and a week,
    gotta get drunk man till I can't even speak
    Gonna get high man listen to me,
    one drink ain't enough Jack you better make it three
    I wanna get drunk I'm gonna make it real clear,
    I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer
    One bourbon, one scotch, one beer

    As much as i like the doors i dont think that song is the best drinking song, well not any more than any other songs! Best for me is Proclaimers - 500 Miles/Pints.
    People say im paranoid. Well, they dont say it, but i know that's what they are thinking.
  • intodeepintodeep Posts: 7,228

    I love you.... would you like something in exchange. May I try to expand your musical horizons with something you have probably never listened to? And maybe even a completely different style of music you are used to? I'm afraid no drinking songs though.

    dunk i tell ya, listening to that song tis not drinking im thinking of. ;):D:p

    lol! ain't that the truth! :D

    but as much as i love the Doors, I beg to differ on the best drinking song:


    HOME FOR A REST - Spirit Of The West

    You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
    I've been gone for a month, I've been drunk since I left
    These so-called vacations will soon be my death
    I'm so sick from the drink I need home for a rest.

    We arrived in December and London was cold
    We stayed in the bars along Charing Cross Road
    We never saw nothin' but brass taps and oak
    Kept a shine on the bar with the sleeves of our coats

    You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
    I've been gone for a week
    I've been drunk since I left
    And these so-called vacations
    Will soon be my death
    I'm so sick from the drink
    I need home for a rest
    Take me home....

    Euston Station the train journey North
    In the buffet car we lurched back and forth
    Past old crooked dykes through Yorkshire's green fields
    We were flung into dance as the train jigged and reeled

    You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
    I've been gone for a week
    I've been drunk since I left
    And these so-called vacations
    Will soon be my death
    I'm so sick from the drink
    I need home for a rest
    Take me home....


    By the light of the moon, she'd drift through the streets
    A rare old perfume, so seductive and sweet
    She'd tease us and flirt, as the pubs all closed down
    Then walk us on home and deny us a round

    You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
    I've been gone for a month
    I've been drunk since I left
    And these so-called vacations
    Will soon be my death
    I'm so sick from the drink
    I need home for a rest
    Take me home....

    The gas heater's empty, it's damp as a tomb
    The spirits we drank now ghosts in the room
    I'm knackered again, come on sleep take me soon
    And don't lift up my head 'till the the twelve bells at noon

    You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
    I've been gone for a month
    I've been drunk since I left
    And these so-called vacations
    Will soon be my death
    I'm so sick from the drink
    I need home for a rest
    Take me home....

    We have a winner! I can't even count the number of parties I went to in college where we'd all get together and sing this song at the top of our lungs while drinking copious amounts of beer! Good times.
