Couldn't sleep a wink last night
Every time I closed my eyes
I saw you crying, crying all alone

Instead of lying in bed
These thoughts that raced around my head
My crazy head

I wish I was your father
Then I could have seen you grow
I'd love to watch you grow

I wish I could have seen all the places
All the faces that you've seen
I wish I could

Take a chance on the liquor man
Take a chance on the liquor man
The liquor man knows
Take a chance on the liquor man
take a chance on the liquor man
The liquor man knows
Ah, yes he does

These slow, sweet, sweet dreams
Make me laugh and sometimes
I thought I was insane
My crazy head

With my head down through the clouds
Made me happy, made me strong, so proud
My head in the clouds

Take a chance on the liquor man
Take a chance on the liquor man
The liquor man knows
Ah yes he does
Take a chance on the liquor man
Take a chance on the liquor man
The liquor man knows
I swear he does

It's not like I was alone
I'm not alone

And when I'm lying awake
I think of all the hearts that I've broken
I used to laugh

Then again I catch my eyes in the mirror
Just as the sun comes through the skies
I ain't so bad looking after all

Take a chance on the liquor man
Take a chance on the liquor man
The liquor man knows
Ah yes he does
Take a chance on the liquor man
Take a chance on the liquor man
The liquor man knows
Told you so

Take a chance on the liquor man
Take a chance on the liquor man
The liquor man knows
Ah yes he does
Take a chance on the liquor man
Take a chance on the liquor man
The liquor man knows
Whoa yeah

Take a chance on the liquor man
Take a chance on the liquor man
The liquor man knows
I know he does

I can't get out of bed
My crazy, lazy, lazy head won't go
no
I said

Take a chance on the liquor man
Take a chance on the liquor man
The liquor man knows
Take a chance on the liquor man
Take a chance on the liquor man
The liquor man knows

It's not the memories
It's not what I want you to be
I want you here

And when the sun don't shine
I pull my head up underneath the covers

I want to stroke your hair
Soft and long
Just once again

Plant roses around your door
Think of things I promised you
A long time ago
Ah nananana nanana...
