If I knew when I was young that I'd be older
There are so many things that I would've told you
But I didn't have a chance to tell you about it
Now I'm sitting here and the bar is crowded

So I'm gonna say it now to all my drunk friends
All good people come to their ends
Here's where we lift our glasses to you
Us and all these punks who never knew you

I used to sit alone in all my glory
Now I sit with friends and I tell them stories
About the way you were and the way you raised me
And all your stupid jokes that never phazed 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

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."
So take a glass and drink again
Yeah, toss one back, toss one back, toss one back for my old man
