| Lately things ain’t been going my way
|
| Consequently I’ve been drinking nearly every day
|
| It’s hard to keep your head up when they’re knocking you down
|
| So I been making that all go round
|
| Drinking bottom shelf bourbon to ease my mind
|
| Seems to work alright 'til closing time
|
| But you know you’re gonna come down every night
|
| And there ain’t no way you’ll ever feel satisfied
|
| Ain’t that hard to figure where to begin
|
| It’s Friday night so I’m rushing in
|
| Like a fool I get it anywhere I can
|
| Well I’ve been having a hard time
|
| Walking a straight line
|
| Seeing two of every single neon sign
|
| Well now you’ll find me downtown
|
| Gracefully face down
|
| Just wishing I could feel alright
|
| Well lately I’ve been wanderin around with eyes closed
|
| It seems like I been heading down the wrong road
|
| Thought I’d find my way by now
|
| But I still got lost somehow
|
| Y’hear shots fall down from Heaven above
|
| You might lose a friend you might fall in love
|
| But you know you’re gonna come down every night
|
| And there ain’t no way you’ll ever feel satisfied
|
| Six in the morning 'til your dying day
|
| It’s straight bad news and bills to pay
|
| But come five o’clock you’re feeling good again
|
| Well I’ve been having a hard time
|
| Walking a straight line
|
| Seeing two of every single neon sign
|
| Well now you’ll find me downtown
|
| Gracefully face down
|
| Just wishing I could feel alright
|
| Well I been so high I hit my head on the ground
|
| Sat up on the floor seems the room spin around
|
| But when you squint real hard through the bottom of the bottle
|
| Things really don’t look so bad
|
| You drink a cheap malt liquor from a 40 ounce bottle
|
| Swig some bourbon, some pills if you’ve got 'em
|
| But you know you’re gonna come down every night
|
| And there ain’t no way you’re ever gonna feel satisfied
|
| There’s years of my life I don’t remember at all
|
| Like one Friday evening I can barely recall
|
| It was a sick situation in a bar room bathroom stall
|
| Well I’ve been having a hard time
|
| Walking a straight line
|
| Seeing two of every single neon sign
|
| Well now you’ll find me downtown
|
| Gracefully face down
|
| Just wishing I could feel alright
|
| Yeah I been wishing I could feel alright
|
| Yeah I been wishing I could feel alright |
