Sometimes it's simple things that make it hard
  Spoiled baby T's with credit cards
  Overtime always on my mind
  Could have been's eat away in side now
  Praise God and pass the bottle of Beam
  Because tonight I can't seem to say what I mean
  Don't know if I would even if I could, Amen
  Somehow this seems like borrowed time
  Pay it no mind, everything is fine
  But sometimes I'd rather hear laughter while this whole place died
  A johnny jump-up is a lovely thing
  A pint of cider and some whiskey
  I had four dead inside of me
  Just to hear this jackass sing his line about
  How he used to hang out somewhere "back in the day"
  Knowing terms only that an asshole would say
  So I sat there drinking more
  Thinking about drinking more
  Nelson Algren came to me
  And said clebrate the ugly things
  The beat up side of what they call pride
  could be the measure of these days
  God save Otis Redding because I know he's never gone
  As sick falls from this mouth hear me sing it wrong
  Is it "cigarettes and coffee" now or Dreams to be Remembered
  I'll leave regrets for dead and sing along
  So I'm reaching for the phone I don't want to be alone
  I want to get some friends here tonight
  I got a basement full of booze and some blues to lose
  I'll ignore the whole world tonight
  It will be alright
