In an old smoky bar room

I sat at a table alone

With the sound of the juke box

Playing some sad country song

Well, a waitress walked up

And said, ?What can I get you there, friend?

Said ?I come to get drunk, tell me just what would you 

recommend?

She said



(Chorus)

Liquor is quicker

But, I like the taste of the wine

A cold beer can do it

But, it'll take twice the time

Now, I speak the truth

Brother, any old drunk would agree

Liquor is quicker

But, it all does the same now for me.



She started me off with some Jim Beam

And, Lord how it burned


With a glass of tequila

She told me to swallow the worm

Four hours later

I'm still there drinkin' em down

And I just can't quit talkin'

About this new love that I found.



(Repeat Chorus)



Woke up this morning

Passed out on the living room floor

My stomach so full

That I just couldn't take anymore

My head was pounding

And my eyes were hurt by the light

As I remembered the words of that waitress who told me 

last night

She said



(Repeat Chorus)



Liquor is Quicker

And it sure did a number on me.
