	Story Behind the Song In 1997 the band was nearing the end of a five-week run at Chilcoot Charlie's in Alaska. Dave was sitting at the bar feeling homesick, surrounded by several barflies who were looking into the bottom of their glasses. The sound system was playing Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin' On", and the collective alienation was palpable. Everyone seemed to be longing for a distant wife or girlfriend. So Dave went back to the band house and set out to write the Merle Haggard/George Harrison drinking song that never was. Lyrics Sitting in a crowded barroom Under a midnight sun And all I can think of is your eyes of green So now that the day is done And I'm still here where we used to walk With memories I think we both are closing our eyes to see Well the world is getting colder Tomorrow we'll be older After four weeks away There's only one thing to say Pour me a shot or pour me a shoulder So here's to the dog-eared picture of you My mind's drifting home again But for now you'll find the rest of me Deep inside a glass of courage Because the world is getting colder Tomorrow we'll be older And the songbox keeps playing "What's Goin' On, What's Goin' On" Swaying on a stool in a whiskey pool I ramble along about Scooby-Doo and Nietzsche When the world is getting colder Tomorrow we'll be older I'm taking a stand with a drink in my hand Pour me a shot or pour me a shoulder Well the world is getting colder Tomorrow we'll be older We're just dots on a graph with the same epitaph Pour me a shot or pour me a shoulder
