Lyrics
verse#1
lately I have come
to the conclusion
things are getting
out of control
I caught myself braking
for illusions
how long can you let
the good-times roll?
chorus
drinking whiskey makes me
break out in bruises
jose cuervo makes me
break out in tattoos
what a fair weather friend
a glass of booze is
I'm feeling down
around closing time
I'm down
to my last dime
and downing that one last friend
I'm bound to loose
verse#2
I used to be nine foot tall
and bullet proof
there weren't nobody
messing with me
but now I'm achy in the joints
and there's snow on the roof
I guess I ain't the man
I used to be
chorus
verse#3
have you noticed how your problems
look bigger
through in bottom
of a glass?
I could theorize philosophize
and try to figure
just how long
I'm gonna last
repeat chorus twice
