| Sometimes it’s simple things that make it hard
|
| Spoiled baby T’s with credit cards
|
| Overtime always on my mind
|
| Could have been’s eat away in side now
|
| Praise God and pass the bottle of Beam
|
| Because tonight I can’t seem to say what I mean
|
| Don’t know if I would even if I could, Amen
|
| Somehow this seems like borrowed time
|
| Pay it no mind, everything is fine
|
| But sometimes I’d rather hear laughter while this whole place died
|
| A johnny jump-up is a lovely thing
|
| A pint of cider and some whiskey
|
| I had four dead inside of me
|
| Just to hear this jackass sing his line about
|
| How he used to hang out somewhere «back in the day»
|
| Knowing terms only that an asshole would say
|
| So I sat there drinking more
|
| Thinking about drinking more
|
| Nelson Algren came to me
|
| And said celebrate the ugly things
|
| The beat up side of what they call pride
|
| Could be the measure of these days
|
| God save Otis Redding because I know he’s never gone
|
| As sick falls from this mouth hear me sing it wrong
|
| Is it «Cigarettes and Coffee» now or «Dreams to be Remembered»
|
| I’ll leave regrets for dead and sing along
|
| So I’m reaching for the phone I don’t want to be alone
|
| I want to get some friends here tonight
|
| I got a basement full of booze and some blues to lose
|
| I’ll ignore the whole world tonight
|
| It will be alright |
