Lyrics
V1 Well, the call came in about half past nine. Slumped down in my truck and no vital signs. The radio was on; a slow country sound. One tear in my eye and a lonesome frown. V2 When they brought me in I was fading fast. They put me up on a stool and pulled out a glass. Hey Doctor Bartender it’s an emergency! Fire up the jukebox and start a whiskey I.V. C Just start a whiskey I.V. for what’s ailing me, And I’ll sit here all night long. Set the cue ball up; fill up your cup. And play something that will do me wrong. When it’s getting late I might recessitate An old flame and a memory. So when they say “last call” and a teardrop falls, Just start a whiskey I.V. V3 You know we’ve all been down that ole lonesome road. When your woman walks out or just doesn’t come home. Well there’s a doctor on call; he’s got a remedy. Fire that ole jukebox up and start a whiskey I.V. C Just start a whiskey I.V. for what’s ailing me And I’ll sit here all night long. Set the cue ball up; fill up your cup. And play something that will do me wrong. When it’s getting late I might recessitate An old flame and a memory. So when they say “last call” and a teardrop falls, Just start a whiskey I.V.
