So take a glass and drink again Yeah, toss one back for my old man Yeah, all our friends are here; that's nothing new The only thing that's missing here is you One thing's for sure: You wouldn't want us crying How's things up there? They're good on my end I'll drink this Manhattan my friends bought me Heavy on the whiskey like you taught me Here's where we lift our glasses to you Us and all these punks who never knew you So take a glass and drink it down And when they ask you "Whiskey?" you say "Brown." So take a glass and drink again Yeah, toss one back for my old man So take a glass and drink it down And when they ask you "Whiskey?" you say "Brown."
