01 The Dropouts |
| Dropouts paid in alcohol |
| Late-night longshots at the bar |
| Waitin' and waitin' and waitin' on a phone call |
| My one true love is this cheap guitar |
| Everybody flyin' in a harmony rocket |
| Everybody’s sleepin' on a hardwood floor |
| You got two two-dollar bills in your pocket |
| You’ve got no idea when you’ll get more |
| But that’s alright |
| It’s goin' down, down, down |
| We got nothin' |
| But nothin’s good enough for the dropouts |
| Buildings made of bricks and mortar |
| Mockingbirds up in the sky |
| Man I hated going to high school |
| All I wanted was to learn how to fly |
| But that’s alright |
| Turns out you don’t need wings |
| When you’ve got whiskey |
| And guitar strings |
| About midnight |
| We gon' get real loud |
| We got nothin', but |
| Nothin’s good enough for the dropouts |
| In a parallel universe, everybody’s wasted |
| In another life where we all live |
| In the straight world, everybody thinks we’ve lost it |
| Oh, but we all see what a joke it is |
| I know you |
| Even if I don’t know your name |
| The real world |
| Can’t be really lame |
| You gotta make your own sunshine |
| When you’re underground |
| We got nothin', but |
| Nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin' |
| Nothin’s good enough for the dropouts |
| We’re the dropouts |
| We’re the dropouts |
| We’re the dropouts |
| Aw, yeah |
