runnin' on four hours of sleep
Said the kid ain't about to eat
I taught her towards the bar
And got blasted out of my mind
Now my body feels so dirty
A friend ran into me there
Fallin' out of my bar chair
When closing time arrived
But she offered me a ride
I gave her a hug goodnight
Said, darling, you're alright
and stumbled up the stairs
Getting wasted, getting drunk,
And all tore up, it ain't good
But that don't bother me none
gotta let loose the reins
For a while with the joy and the pain
And dump down that old stuffy brain
It ain't cool the way I live,
Folks and friends, I do the best I can
Yeah, but I'm a flawed man
Anyway, my role in this model ain't cool
It's more like a stomping shoe
The pieces make more sense to
Gettin' wasted, gettin' drunk,
gettin' lit and all tore up
that don't matter me much
Once in a while you gotta loose the reins
Roll wide with the joy and the pain
Dumb down your old stupid brain
This world is one of both
And this life, it ain't no joke
it's all the good people that I know
If you see me at the corner bar,
eyes glazed, drinking hard
It ain't cause I hate this life,
Getting wasted, getting drunk,
getting lit and all tore up
but that don't bother me none
gotta let loose the reins
For a while with the joy and the pain
Calm down and don't stop your brain
Calm down and don't stop your brain
