I'm getting wasted doing nothing

My mind is drifting far away

I hocked my guitar for a dozen dollar bills

I wish that there was some other way



I play my songs in a bar down on main street

Only one i know of for miles around

And people get to drinking and they fall asleep

And the owner says to move on to some other town



So, i just get my guitar and run

Until i can find someone to make music



I met a girl who works in a drug store

Got sky-blue eyes like you've never seen

I think i'm gonna grab her and walk on out the door

I'm gonna make some music that's just so darn mean
