lyrics

Go drivin’ down dead-ends again
If all you think we are is friends
Then you ain’t no friend to me

It’s back to the grind again, but this is not
Who I am, who I am
Longs to be free

CHORUS:
I’ve got the Hag when I’m unhappy, Willie when I’m blue
Hank to keep me company when my mind falls back to you
Waylon is my water and the Possum is my bread
King George keeps me upright ‘til I stumble into bed

Flames lick the flu that sends the wood smoke
To the stars, leaving is the easy part
Until remembering gets too hard

I ain’t gettin’ rich, oh, but I am
Gettin’ by, the world is fucked
So why not have a good time, have a good time

REPEAT CHORUS

Why buy ‘em busted at the seams
I’ll wear the holes in my own jeans
New they’re thick and dark and blue

Out here when I hear my Savior’s name
It’s shouted, swearing, always in vain
And I wonder what to say or do
