Editing lyrics

Have you ever listened to a song, misread the lyrics, and after finding out the actual lyrics, you like your own better than the original?

The Format - "If Work Permits"


sometimes, when sailors are sailing
they think twice, about where they're anchoring
and I think, I could make better use of my time on land
I'll drink less
Cause Lord knows I could use a warm kiss
Instead of a cold goodbye


But this is what I thought they said:


sometimes, when sailors are sailing
they think twice, about where they're anchoring
and I think, I could make better use of my time on land
I'll drink less
Cause Lord knows I could use a warm kiss
Instead of a cold kick back


There's just something I like more about it, considering he already alluded to wanting to drink less. I don't know. It's also just a really cool way of saying "beer" to me. Listening to it over again, I wonder how I could have ever thought that he sang "kick back."
