On the Rocks

I ain't no scholar

I don't write no books

I don't spend my money on the last girl honey

'Cause she hates my guts

I paid my rent late

So my landlord's angry

And all this shit keeps piling up

And trying to hang me

I give my lovin' on the run

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

Sick of trying to strum along

With your love song

So leave me here to pour another drink

On the rocks

All of this will hold you

Down on to the ground until

You're crawling on the gravel like a regular guy

Oh, all of this will hold you

Down on to the ground until

You're drowning in your sorrows

With a bottle o' 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 on to the ground until

You're crawling on the gravel like a regular guy

Oh, all of this will hold you

Down on to the ground until

You're drowning in your sorrows

With a bottle o' rye

Like a regular guy
