Story Behind the Song
The song has nothing to do with alcoholism or drinking whatsoever. It's about trying to cheer yourself up, getting over one's troubles, and giving yourself a pat on the back when you need & deserve it.
Lyrics
Please, please, please step inside
And let yourself out from the inside
Because you know him
You need him
To get you through
These times of sorrow and feeling blue
Lordy, lordy, fading glory
Turn over your page
Pass the fear and get on over
And have a drink on me
Like a tiger with his bite
Grab onto something with all of your might
And break it, you make it, something new
For there’s oh so much that the gods can do
Lordy, lordy, fading glory
Get out of your cage
Pass the tear and get on over
And have a drink on me
Have a drink on me . . .
Now here’s what you’re gonna do
You’re gonna think a little bit before you do
What you want to, you need to, you have to do
‘Cause you need a little something to get you through
Lordy, lordy, fading glory
Let go of your rage
Pass the beer and get on over
And have a drink on me
Have a drink on me . . .
