Lyrics Back Alley Ruler - Gun Barrel

Back Alley Ruler

Woke up this morning — feeling trashed
Guess in the end she took me home
She bought the drinks, I brought the thirst
She was the dog, I brought the bone
A night’s delight — a day’s regret
I heard her boyfriend’s Chevy-Van
Puked in my car, got on the bus
So now it’s «On the Road Again»
Back alley ruler
For all my life
I’m just a back alley ruler
For all my time
The repo-man he took my car
I guess I just ran out of my luck
Taxes, health care, unpaid bills
I never gave much of a fuck
The little nerd droned on and on
I didn’t get a single thing
It doesn’t matter anyway
'Cause on the road I am the king
Passing out on the back seat
Yeah I dumped my self-control
Sleeping naked on main street
It’s only Rock’n’Roll!
