lyrics

Took a trip down to Bar City
Took a drink cause I feel so shitty
Over there, she's looks alright
I wanna make her mine tonight
She's got it right
Yeah, her moves are tight

Now let's go down to the old drug store
My fake ID says that I'm 34
So play along and don't be such a bor
Take one more drink and end up on the floor

I don't know why but this all just makes sense to me
Stepping outside to the sun shining down on me
Watching the days float on by is so torturing
Now I don't try cause you want so much more from me

Said bye to pops he sent me on my way
Didn't want to see me not another day
Listen boy, you're not alright
Don't wanna see you home tonight
You're such a fright
Get on with your life

Picked up my feet the whole damn world was gray
Didn't want to live my life not another day
No one to love and no warm place to stay
And that's just life in the great big city

I don't know why but this all just makes sense to me
Stepping outside to the sun shining down on me
Watching the days float on by is so torturing
Now I don't try cause you want so much more from me
