Hey, I ain't got no money and I ain't got no work
And my woman she left me with my face in the dirt.
But I'll be all right. Yeah, I'll be okay
Just pour me a drink at the end of the day, yeah

Well, I left Alabama without a dime
I came back to Chicago, started wastin my time
Hey I found a new woman, and all she had to say
Is, "let's have a drink at the end of the day!"

They say you can't smoke, they say you can't drink.
They tell you what to wear, they tell you how to think
But you know that they're wrong, child
Listen when I say, you gotta do what you love at the end of the day.
I said,
Pour me a drink
Pour me a drink
Pour me a drink
Pour me a drink, yeah yeah yeah yeah
