Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pissin' in the wind
Bettin' on  our losin' friends
Makin' the same mistakes we swear we'll never make again
Pissin' in the wind
But it's blowin' on all our friends
We're gonna sit and grin and tell our grandchildren
[Verse 2]
'Bout the time I called this guy, it was four in the morning
To teach me the words to the song I was hummin'
He just laughed and he said that the old, gray cat
Is sneakin' down the hall
But all he wants to know is who in the hell
Is payin' for this call
[Verse 3]
Oh, pissin' in the wind
Bettin' on our losin' friends
Makin' the same mistakes we swear we'll never make again
And we're pissin' in the wind
But it's blowin' on all our friends
We're gonna sit and grin and tell our grandchildren
[Verse 4]
How this nun called me up, it was eight in the morning
Wanted to know how in the world am I doing
He just laughed and he said, "Get it together, boy
And fall on by the house
Some gonzo buddies would like to play anything you're pickin' now"
[Verse 5]
Oh, pissin' in the wind
Bettin' on our losin' friends
Makin' the same mistakes we swear we'll never make again
We're pissin' in the wind
And it's blowin' all on our friends
We're gonna sit and grin and tell our grandchildren
[Verse 6]
How we worked and we suffered and struggled
Makin' a record till we got it right
Now we're waitin' on the check
To come sneakin' down the hall
Like that old time feeling
That we never should have ever put the record out at all
[Verse 7]
Yeah, just pissin' in the wind
Bettin' on our losin' friends
Makin' the same mistakes we swear we'll never make again
And we're pissin' in the wind
And it's blowin' all on our friends
We're gonna sit and grin and tell our grandchildren
[Verse 8]
That the answer, my friend
It's just pissin' in the wind
Oh, the answer is pissin' in the sink
