Pints of Guinness Make You Strong (Explicit) - Against Me!/Tom Gabel

Evelyn sits by the elevator doors

It's been 37 years since James

Died on St. Patrick's Day in 1964

But she could not hold it against him

There were times when

There was nothing she could do

But lie in bed all day

Beside a picture of them together

A picture of better days

And just like James,

I'll be drinking Irish tonight

And the memory of his last work

Week will be gone forever

Evelyn I'm not coming home tonight!

If we're never together

If I'm never back again

Well I swear to God

That I'll love you forever

Evelyn I'm not coming home tonight!

In all the years

That went by she said

She'd always love him

And from the day that he died

She never loved again

And in his wallet she kept in her nightstand

An a.a. card and a lock of red hair

She kept secrets of pride locked

So tight in her heart

It killed a part of her

Before the rest was gone.

She said, "If I would have known just

How things would have ended up

I just would have let myself die."

And just like James,

I'll be drinking Irish tonight

And the memory of his

Last work week will be gone forever

Evelyn I'm not coming home tonight!

If we're never together

If I'm never back again

Well I swear to God that

I'll love you forever

Evelyn I'm not coming home tonight!
