Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, we're all wasted in a bar
Somewhere downtown
A man walks up and pokes me with a knife
And says, "Man, I'm gonna send you to Hell"
[Verse 2]
Well, I took that knife, I stared him straight in the eyes
And said, "Oh, boy, you better fuckin' run"
I'm sittin' here, just a-slammin' down beers
And now it's time to have some fun
And oh
[Verse 3]
Oh, well, he hit me hard, yeah, he hit me good
And then I fell to the ground
But I kicked him fast, I kicked him real swift
And he came a-tumblin' down
[Verse 4]
Took a stab at me and nearly cut my gut
But I kicked that knife to the floor
Then I took his head and slammed it into the bar
I don't think he'll come around no more
[Verse 5]
Oh, no
Woah
Oh
[Verse 6]
Well, I've been drinkin' here for so many damn years
Tryin' to recap my life
Every night trouble finds my sight
And I can't help but fight
[Verse 7]
With a bottle of Jack and a tin of Skoal
I'll be stickin' around
Until the day the man'll put me away
And I can rest my soul
[Verse 8]
Well, we're all wasted in a bar
Somewhere downtown
When a man walks up and pokes me with a knife
And says, "Man, I'm gonna send you to Hell"
[Verse 9]
Well, I took that knife, I stared him straight in the eyes
And said, "Oh boy, this is the day"
Then I grabbed that knife, I stabbed it straight through my eye
And then I fell to my knees
[Verse 10]
Oh
Oh
Woah
[Verse 11]
Well, I've been drinkin' here for so many damn years
Trying to recap my life
Every night trouble finds my sight
And I can't help but fight
[Verse 12]
With a bottle of Jack and a tin of Skoal
Tonight I'm goin' home
Today's the day the man'll put me away
And I can rest my soul
