lyrics

I'm just here to perpetuate the myth of my existence
that's why I'm staying past last call
I'll meet you in the back alley when you finish closing up
looking for a good time and a place to rest that's all

And in the morning we might ask
"what the fuck were we thinking?"
but I hope it's just coffee and a goodbye kiss
six hours on the road 'til I hit the next shitty little bar
sleeping freezing in my car
darling don't you know you're missed

When will it be?
What did we say?
another hour, another day
distance don't make it better like they claim
or maybe it does
what the hell do I know
drive ten thousand miles
to play a hundred shows
just to find that bed again
will I find that bed again?

I'm just here singing for an audience of no one
even the sound guy is just playing with his phone
and the shady promoter ran off with all my money
I'm stranded in Nowheresville alone

Wash my fast food dinner down with a pint of whiskey
oh this glamorous life that I chose
now I wonder what the fuck
what the fuck
what the fuck was I thinking?
I know I never ever ever should have left my happy home

When will it be?
What did I say?
another hour, another day
distance don't make it better like they claim
or maybe it does
what the hell do I know
drive ten thousand miles
to play a hundred shows
just to find that bed again
will I find that bed again?
