Intro
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 'till closing time
But you know you're gunna 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'm having a hard time Walking a straight line
Seeing two of every single neon sign, Well now
You'll find me downtown Gracefully facedown
Just wishing I could feel alright
Lately I've been wanderin' around with eyes closed
It seems like I been heading down the wrong road
I thought I'd find my way by now
But I still got lost somehow
You see shots fall down from Heaven above,
You might lose a friend you might fall in love,
But you know you're gunna come down every night,
And there ain't no way you'll ever feel satisfied
Six in the morning 'till your dying day,
It's straight bad news and bills to pay,
But come five o'clock you're feeling good again
Well I'm having a hard time Walking a straight line
Seeing two of every single neon sign, Well now
You'll find me downtown Gracefully facedown
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 oz bottle
Hit some bourbon, (smoke 'em) if you've got 'em,**
But you know you're gunna come down every night,
And there ain't no way you'll ever feel satisfied,
The 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'm having a hard time Walking a straight line
Seeing two of every single neon sign, Well now
You'll find me downtown Gracefully facedown
Just wishing I could feel alright
Yea, I'm wishing I could feel alright
Yea, I'm wishing I could feel alright
Outro
**TDM3 sing the line "Hit the bourbon, some pills if you've got 'em" -
But I prefer my slight alteration. ;)
I'm a big fan of accurate, legible, and neatly formatted charts that are
typically true to studio versions, with noted exceptions.
