I ain't no scholar
I don't write no books
I done spent my money
On my last girl honey
And she hates my guts
I paid my rent late
So my landlord's angry
And all this **** keeps piling up
And tryin' to hang me
I get my lovin' on the run
On the run
So don't you try to slow me down
And walk around it
Sick of tryin' to strum along
With' you love song
So leave me here
To pour another drink on the rocks
Oh all of this will
Hold you down onto the ground
Until you're crawling
On the gravel like a regular guy
Oh all of this will
Hold you down onto the ground
Until you're drowning
In your sorrows with a bottle of rye
I ain't got no savior
I ain't got no time
I know
I'm stuck with a problem
That'll come through
And swallow up my last dime
All I wanted was some peace
And quiet
To take me out of here
Before I start a riot
Lost my reason
I done lost my way
I done sat here for hours
And heard all the songs
That the jukebox plays
So keep your sunny days
Away from here and I'll
Pour the liquor down
And smile while I say
Life's been on the rocks
I've taken
My last shot at holding on to
Life's been on the rocks
I've taken
My last shot at holding on to
All of
Oh all of this will
Hold you down onto the ground
Until you're crawling
On the gravel like a regular guy
Oh all of this will
Hold you down onto the ground
Until you're drowning
In your sorrows with a bottle of rye
Like a regular guy
