Alcoholics Of The Future

[Jim Colyer]

I see them in the bars
Second Avenue in Nashville
They're here every night
Like they have time to kill
I'm old enough to be their dad
Some are just twenty-one
They sure go through the beer
Vodka, whiskey and rum

Alcoholics Of The Future
A brand new generation
They're having fun now
But the fun will play out
Alcoholics Of The Future
Floating on a sea of booze
Pierced and tattooed
Predestined to lose

No use talking to them
Already set in their ways
They got an early start
Throwing their lives away
Headaches and hangovers
Losing jobs and DUIs
Totaled cars and jail time
Broken homes and alibis

Alcoholics Of The Future
A brand new generation
They're having fun now
But the fun will play out
Alcoholics Of The Future
Floating on a sea of booze
Pierced and tattooed
Predestined to lose

I wish I could turn them around
Intercept them on their way down

Alcoholics Of The Future
A brand new generation
They're having fun now
But the fun will play out
Alcoholics Of The Future
Floating on a sea of booze
Pierced and tattooed
Predestined to lose
