On The Rocks

I ain’t no scholar, I don’t write no books

I done spend my money on the 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 give my lovin’ on the run (on the run, on the run)

So don’t you try to slow me down and walk around yeah

Sick of tryin’ to strum along, wit’ yo’ love song

So leave me here to pour another drink on the rocks

All of this will hold you

Down onto the ground until you’re crawlin’ 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 will 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 this will hold you

Down onto the ground until you’re crawlin’ on the gravel

Like a regular guy

All, 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
