The Forecast Calls for Bourbon
© Jim Molinelli
[Verse 1]
Slept right through the alarm,
and traffic was a zoo,
Spilled coffee on the keyboard,
now the whole damn screen went blue.
[Chorus]
Whenever life pushes me,
a little bit too far...
The forecast calls for bourbon,
with the chance of a cigar!
[Verse 2]
My son is fuming mad for
getting benched by his coach,
Right then my wife reminds me
'bout dinner with her folks.
[Chorus]
Whenever life pushes me,
a little bit too far...
The forecast calls for bourbon,
with the chance of a cigar!
[Verse 3]
The Smith’s bailed out of dinner
plans 'bout an hour before,
My daughter shaved her head,
then my dog peed on the floor.
[Chorus]
Whenever life pushes me,
a little bit too far...
The forecast calls for bourbon,
with the chance of a cigar!
[Verse 4]
Walked in with muddy shoes,
size 12 prints throughout the house,
I washed my new red sweats,
now she's got a bright pink blouse.
[Chorus]
Whenever life pushes me,
a little bit too far...
The forecast calls for bourbon,
with the chance of a cigar!
[Verse 5]
My laptop’s got a virus
and I need to cut the grass,
When I argued with my wife,
she told me I'm an ass!
[Chorus]
Whenever life pushes me,
a little bit too far...
The forecast calls for bourbon,
with the chance of a cigar!
[Bridge]
Every day has it’s snags,
like storms they roll through,
If you let ‘em pile up,
they’ll rain all over you.
Life keeps givin’ reasons
to slow down and unwind,
Here’s a simple forecast
anyone can mind…
[Chorus]
Before you get pushed,
a little bit too far...
LIFE calls for bourbon,
with the chance of a cigar!
Before you get pushed,
a little bit too far...
LIFE calls for bourbon,
with the chance of a cigar!
[spoken]
"well... I'll pour a double..."
“...and I should grab a Churchill too...
It was a long day!...”
“...Hey honey....
...is my dog still outside?”
"...uh huh..."
"... but the carpet's brand new!"
“...Seriously?”
