I sure would regret the lose of good drinking songs!

Are You Drinking with Me, Jesus?


While you nestle by my bar stool,
Making me so calm within?
Do you warm me with your presence,
Or have I warmed myself with sin?

Chorus:

Are you drinking with me, Jesus?
I can't see you very clear;
If you're drinking with me, Jesus,
Won't you buy a friend a beer.

If you're omnipresent, Jesus,
You don't have to use the phone;
If you're always by my side, Lord,
You need never drink alone...

Do you teeter with me, Jesus,
On my way home so forlorn?
If you think that you feel bad now,
Just wait until tomorrow morn...

Does your head pound with the masses,
As hung over you do rive?
What does Heaven look like, Jesus,
Seen through holy bloodshot eyes?

Should we take a taxi, Jesus,
Or should we walk from here?
I know you can walk on water,
But can you walk on this much beer?

Chorus:(2X)

Are you drinking with me, Jesus?
I can't see you very clear;
If you're drinking with me, Jesus,
Won't you buy a friend a beer.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
