I want to drink Guinness again
like I used to way back when
I was a young man
my dreams shone like silver
I wasn't afraid like I am now
I always had hope
I used to, but still there
is something warning me
that I don't know how
I want to drink Guinness again
like back when I thought I might win
I yearned for my fortune
I longed for tomorrow
now look at where I've ended up
I placed all my bets
on a lifetime to borrow
and somehow it's never enough
pour me another
like when you used to
I don't drink that much anymore
I make my mistakes
now when I choose to
not like I used to before
I want to drink Guinness again
before whiskey was my best friend
and it did its damage
it stuck to my senses
now I can't touch a drop
it laughs and it teases
on all my defenses
I'm so sad that my time may be up
I want to drink Guinness again
like I used to way back when
