Pour Me Lyrics


Pour me, pour me, pour me another
It holds me, holds me, like no other
One more drink, then I swear that I'm going home
Truth is that I don't really have a place to go
So pour me, pour me, pour me another
I wake up right about the mid-afternoon
With the sun in the sky, the night's coming soon
And I walk to the mirror just to fix myself
Yeah, life gets harder when you love nothing else
So I pick my pills from the counter drawer
Pick my self esteem up off the fucking floor
I guess I'm a man of no recourse
'Cause I cracked another bottle, got no remorse
And I'll say a little prayer for the child in me
I swear I used to be what I truly believed
That I'm not just a man with these broken dreams
That even I can go to heaven if a part decease, so
Pour me, pour me, pour me another

It holds me, holds me, like no other
One more drink, then I swear that I'm going home
Truth is that I don't really have a place to go
So pour me, pour me, pour me another
People get sick and then watch you bleed
When you fall from the top, boy, you better believe
That the bottom they got just, yeah, just what you need
But at the bottom you can't swim, 'cause you drank up the sea
When we stop and we look up to the sky
They don't ask any questions, they ask us, "Why?"
Don't have any answers, don't know what to say
Our knees are getting tired, too tired to pray
That's when we laid down, end of the road
We all seem to walk, against the walk it alone
And I'm not just a man with these broken dreams
Even I can go to heaven if a part decease, so
Pour me, pour me, pour me another
It holds me, holds me, like no other
One more drink, then I swear that I'm going home
Truth is that I don't really have a place to go
So pour me, pour me, pour me another
Time just seems to go on and on
On and on, and on and on
Life inside a bottle all along
All along, the bottle's gone
I'm not just a man with these broken dreams
Even I can go to heaven if a part decease
What's left inside a bottle if it's gone?
One more song and I'm finally free
I'll meet you here in heaven, between the sea
'Cause I'm not just a man with these broken dreams
That even I can go to heaven if a part decease, so
Pour me, pour me, pour me another
It holds me, holds me, like no other
One more drink, then I swear that I'm going home
Truth is that I don't really have a place to go
So pour me, pour me, pour me another
Pour me, pour me
Pour me, pour me, pour me another
Pour me, pour me
Pour me, pour me, pour me another

Gary "U.S." Bonds (born Gary Anderson, 6 June 1939) is an American rhythm and blues and rock 'n' roll singer. He is also a prolific songwriter.

Born in Jacksonville, Florida, Bonds was living in Norfolk, Virginia in the 1950's when he began singing publicly in church, and with a group called The Turks. He joined record producer Frank Guida's small Legrand label and Guida changed his name to U.S. Bonds in hopes that it would be confused with a public service announcement advertising the sale of government bonds and thus get more airtime. Bonds' first hit was the song "New Orleans", which was followed by "Not Me", a flop for Bonds, but later a hit for The Orlons, and then by his only Number One hit, "Quarter To Three" in June 1961. Subsequent hits, under the name Gary (U.S.) Bonds, included "School Is Out", "Dear Lady Twist" and "Twist, Twist, Senora" in the early 1960s. In a 1963 tour of Europe, he headlined above The Beatles. Eventually, the singer came to be known as Gary U.S. Bonds.

"Quarter To Three" appears on The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list.

In the early 1980s, Bonds had a career resurgence, working off collaborations with Bruce Springsteen, Steven Van Zandt, and the E Street Band. Later hits included "This Little Girl", "Jolé Blon" and "Out Of Work". Bonds continues to release albums sporadically, and today is a mainstay of the nostalgia concert circuit.

While Gary U.S. Bonds is mostly known for achievements within Rhythm and Blues and Rock 'n' roll, he often transcends these genres, e.g. he has been nominated for the Country Music Association's "Songwriter of the Year" distinction. He is also a honoree of the Rhythm & Blues Foundation. Bonds is an accomplished golfer and often plays celebrity PGA events.

He was inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame on Oct 15, 2006. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
