| People are starting to tear down their Christmas lights
|
| It never got cold here but they know that the season’s died
|
| And I’ve been sleeping in a motel off 95
|
| I don’t really mind it much
|
| The clerk at the desk is nice
|
| Well, he pours me a coffee and asks me if it’s been a long night
|
| Well, I found a bar that’s just outside the township line
|
| And I go there most every night
|
| I drank my last paycheck dry
|
| And outside, a homeless man asks me for change and I
|
| I look him straight in his eyes
|
| He starts to apologize
|
| Tells me God’s got a plan for me and that it’ll be alright
|
| Didn’t know that I looked that pathetic
|
| Didn’t know that I looked that pathetic
|
| Didn’t know that I looked that pathetic
|
| The owner’s been giving me a break on my rent this week
|
| He says that I’m good for it
|
| Well, I joke how I’m probably
|
| But I came up short again and nobody’s laughing
|
| So I’ll sneak out at 2 am
|
| I can’t do it honestly
|
| Well, I know I’m a coward and I feel a bad night coming
|
| Didn’t know that I looked that pathetic
|
| Didn’t know that I looked that pathetic
|
| Didn’t know that I looked that pathetic
|
| Didn’t know that I looked that pathetic
|
| So pour me another drink for a daughter I’ll never meet
|
| A wife who don’t love me and a cold cup of coffee
|
| So pour me another drink and I’ll count my blessings
|
| Got a half tank of gas left and this bottle ain’t empty |
