Just a little bluegrass-y pandemic new year's story.

lyrics

Plastic Cups of Whiskey
Plastic Cups of Whiskey – February 2021

Plastic cups of whiskey
Cheers to the ending of a year
Forgot to buy the champagne, stemware is packed away my dear
But there wasn't much to celebrate this year

CHORUS:
Thought life would be different in the future
Like I was promised as a child
Technology, promised to make our lives easy
Instead of connect, managed to drive us all apart

Shake another drink in the tumbler
As you rattle off a string of random thoughts
Time square looks so different, but it's not just NYC
So does Main St and the grocery store

Could I whisk you away?
In another lifetime, perhaps I could've
Pandemic in full-effect! Travel? Just a past relic
And we can't just get up and leave

I thought life would be different in the future
Like I was promised as a child...
But I'd trade the thought of flying cars
To chat and drink at our corner bar
Forget any thought of jet packs
To have our boring old lives back
Last glass of whiskey my dear.....
Cheers to living in spite of all our fears
