[Verse 1]
It's a sayin' that good things
Always come to those who wait
But you could miss a real good thing
If you stop too long to hesitate
[Chorus]
I'm gonna drink the wine, yeah
Before life passes by
I'm gonna drink the wine
And if I don't make it
You can't say that I didn't
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna taste just a little bit
Before it's all over, yes
I'm gonna do what they tell me not to
So you better move over, aye
[Chorus]
I'm gonna drink the wine, yeah
And I'm not gonna stop and think twice
I'm gonna drink the wine, yes I am
And I just might get high on life
(Doo, doo, doo, doo-doo)
[Verse 3]
I said there's so many places I haven't been (Doo, doo, doo, doo-doo)
So many things that I'd have done (Doo, doo, doo, doo-doo)
Tonight I'm sittin' in my rockin' chair (Doo, doo, doo, doo-doo)
Ain't nothin' ever good's gonna happen to me now (Doo, doo, doo, doo-doo)
[Chorus]
Drink the wine, yeah
Before life gets away from you
You better drink the wine, yeah
Come along with me
You, you can be what you wanna be
[Verse 4]
Your life is a ballgame
And you can play, or you can strike out
So I'm gonna be the pitcher and the batter too
So I win, no matter how it works out
[Chorus]
I drink it, come on, drink the wine
Before life passes by
You better get you some water, yeah yeah yeah (Oh oh)
You can't make it if you don't try, oh oh
Come on and drink the wine, yeah yeah yeah (Drink it, drink the wine)
Taste just a little bit, why don't you drink you some wine? (Drink it)
Talkin' 'bout the wine of life, y'all (Drink it, drink the wine)
Everybody, everybody here said, hey yeah (Drink it)
The wine is a mighty fine feeling (Drink it, drink the wine of life)
Yes it is, oh yeah, oh yeah (The wine of life)
Drink it up (Drink it)
Why don't you drink it up (Drink it, drink the wine)
Somebody fill my cup, woah (Drink it)
