Catching Fireflies (Live At Tipitinas)

We just gonna get right into it ya'll

My baby told me

You gotta get better if you ever wanna win

And I know that

She’s not gettin' any better man, she just sin

I still love her

'Cause I know I was once there wearin' them shoes

I’m still hurtin'

‘Cause the woman I love’s givin' me the blues

How we feelin' ya'll?

I'm sittin' here sober

But I wonder what shape she’ll find me in

I need her under my skin

Like a junkie needs heroin

And I’m never going back to Snake n’ Jakes

The amount of money I spent I could’ve bought the place

Not to mention that they know my face

Now it’s hell getting out the place

Walking the streets tonight

I’m catchin' some fireflies

Some would say that I’m livin' a lie

But no more today, no more tonight

You could say that I’m under the gun

Nine million miles away from the sun

Hesitated much too long

But still havin' fun, baby, I hope you’re havin' fun

Give me one more, big boy

Belly up in an ambulance

I spent Sunday makin' doctor friends

I could’ve used a pair of Depends

I hope that made you laugh ‘cause you know I’m a gentlemen

Heaven found me livin' didn’t find me dead

Got a permanent ash mark on my forehead

Still couldn’t save me from lyin' in bed

Starin' at your clothes in the closet while I was out of my head

So I’m walkin' the streets tonight

I’m catchin' some fireflies

Some would say that I’m living a lie

But no more today, no more tonight

You could say that I’m under the gun

Nine million miles away from the sun

I’ve hesitated much too long

But I’m still havin' fun, baby hope you havin' fun

Tipitinas! you ready to bring it tonight?

Okay

Sing that shit

I’m a peaceful man today

Ain’t got no more weekend wars to wage

So give me one more shot babe, shot babe, shot babe

Well I’m a peaceful man today

Ain’t got no more weekend wars to wage

So give me one more shot babe, shot baby, shot babe

Eddie got some new boots, ya'll

Clap 'em

I thought I knew you like I knew nobody else

I thought I knew you like I knew nobody else, yeah

I thought I knew you like I knew nobody else, come on

I thought I knew you like I knew nobody else, yeah

I thought I knew you like I knew nobody else

Truth is I never knew you like I know-ow myself

I thought I knew you like I knew nobody else

Truth is I never knew you, you never knew me

I thought I knew you like I knew nobody else

Truth is I never knew you like I knew myself

One, two

I never knew you

You never knew me

Never, never, never, never knew me

No, no, you never knew me, never knew

That's how it goes

Oh I’m a peaceful man today

Ain’t got no more weekend wars to wage

So give me one more shot babe, shot baby, shot babe

I’m a peaceful man today

Ain’t got no more weekend wars to wage

Give me one more shot babe, shot baby, shot babe
