lyrics

Staring off into the space between
Bottles separating them from me
I was lost ‘til I’d had a few
I’m missing someone but I’m not sure who

Got here just before the clock struck nine
Killing brain cells and wasting time
I bum a cigarette from Crackpipe Dave
Plays online poker and his head is shaved

Chorus

I look at Stacy, wonder what she sees
Is the checkered vinyl what it seems
I wish she’d lift those eyes and look at me
Am I together as I seem to be?

Johnny’s got a case of shotgun breath
Double barreled whiskey, knock ‘em back
Pull the trigger ‘til I’ve lost my head
Goes straight through me but I’ve never bled

Scary Gary’s got an eye for ass
He likes ‘em young and he likes ‘em fast
He wants to split ‘em with his silver tongue
He’s thumbing cherries and his money’s all gone

Chorus

Bridge

Picking up my tab I drop my glass
I’m seeing double and I’m fading fast
Streetlights at night guiding my way home
For one nightcap to spend the night alone

I cross my heart, oh I hope I die
I’d stick a needle in my mother’s eye
I pray to God I don’t step on a crack
I was the straw that broke my father’s back
