Pints Of Guiness Make You Strong
by Against Me· from The Acoustic EP
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 on 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!
