The Living Bubba |
I wake up tired and I wake up pissed |
wonder how I ended up like this |
I wonder why things happen like they do but I don’t wonder long cuz I got a show to do |
I’m sick at my stomach from the A.Z.T. |
Broke at my bank cuz that shit ain’t free |
but I’m here to stay (at least another week or two) |
I can’t die now cuz I got another show to do Don’t give me no pity don’t give me no grief |
Wit till I die for sympathy |
Just help me with this amp and a guitar or two |
I can’t die now cuz I got another show to do Don’t give me no preachin’no self servin' |
I ain’t no angel but nobody’s deserving |
I can dance on my own grave, Thank You! |
but I can’t die now cuz I got another show… |
Some people keep saying I can’t last long |
but I got my bands I got my songs, |
liquor, beer, and nicotine to help me along |
and I’m drunk and stubborn as they come |
chain smoking, guitar picking, til I’m gone |
I ain’t got no political agenda |
Ain’t got no message for the youth of America |
'cept «Wear a rubber and be careful who you screw» |
and come see me next Friday cuz I got another show… |
Some people stop living long before they die |
Work a dead end job just to scrape on by but I keep living just to bend that note in two |
and I can’t die now cuz I got another show… |
