lyrics

I was slippin’ away just the other day. I took my Jitney into town, I never thought I'd drown.
In these whiskey streets of hypocrisy. Carving out a way to see another day.
With your lips on the still you won't never pay your bills.
Try and save your wallet but you know Bonanza kills.
There's a bar room there in your puddle of tears.
There's a bottle to be had in a little brown bag.

Tell me, Tell me, your best reason, riddle or rhyme.
I spent my last penny on a bottle for me and Kenny.
We ain't drinkin’, we're just passin’ time. We ain't drinkin’, we're just passin’ time.

With a handful of reefer and a dollar to his name, underneath the bridge living with the shame.
There's a man who's lost to society, though he ain't no different than you or you or me.
Could you put yourself in his dirty shoes?
Can you feel that bitter rain when the skies are looking blue?
Could you see the world through his cloudy eyes?
The future's always different and everybody dies.
