"TEN WITH A TWO" by: Willie Nelson


Last night, downtown I was drinkin' the booze
Like it was goin' out of style
My whole head got light and I lost my eyesight
I ain't been that drunk in a while
Along about one, I spotted a three
And I started to make my move
She was believin' every line I was layin'
Lord, it was just too cool
Well, I thought I had died and gone to heaven
But Lord did I look like a fool
Last night I came in at two with a ten
But at ten I woke up with a two

(CHORUS):
Last night I came in at two with a ten
But at ten I woke up with a two
I got twenty-twenty vision when I ain't drinkin'
But Lord when I get on that booze
I ain't never gone to bed with an ugly woman
But I sure woke up with a few
Last night I came in at two with a ten
But at ten I woke up with a two

~ Solo ~

Well I made up my mind, I was never gonna find
Myself in that condition again
But here I sit, on the same barstool
And just look that the shape that I'm in
And I done spotted me another queen
Sittin' at a table alone
So I strolled on over and set myself down
And asked if I could take her home
And when she said yes, I thought I'd been blessed
But boy did I look like a fool
Last night I came in at two with a ten
But at ten I woke up with a two

Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder.

There isn't enough beer in the world.

Besides, this article was about beer goggles, not beer radio telescopes.

The only worthwhile post to this thread. :)

But Lord when I get on that booze

When I was in Korea, some of the drunks were the best speakers of the English language. They were among the funnest people to talk to as well.

How many research papers include the word 'fugly' in them...

Depends on how many fugs are around.

The bigger the mug, the better the view.

No wonder he grew a beard, or was he the first "Slick" Willie?

"While getting intimate with the person may seem like a good idea at the time, it's only the morning after when you realise that the Angelina Jolie superbabe you hooked up with the night before actually resembles Margaret Thatcher in the cold harsh light of day."

If'n I wasn't married I'd take Thatcher over Tomb chick.

A pretty funny one at that. NOW I know why the Germans (beer) and the French (wine) don't look so hot.

[najida]

Stupid. ;)

Oh yeah,
and beer helps you dance better too!

[R. Scott]

Oh yea!

[sit-rep]

Too bad these companies find fake breasts more attractive for their poster girls...

[moog]

Oh yea!

OR should that be jug?

[R. Scott]

Way back when I would order beer by the pitcher. Now it’s by the mug – and only a couple at that.

The pitcher has gotten cloudy.

If Hillary were there at 'closing time', I'd have to have a beverage that would first make me deaf.

[R. Scott]

Yep.
