Lyrics
VERSE 1
Empty handed, single again
Change in the weather, see an old friend
Note on the counter, good luck and good bye
Another round of heartache, and I’ll never know why
CHORUS
Seems like about a hundred years ago
(I) had me some laughs, and I had me some dough
(Just) not… right … now
VERSE 2
Brakes are suspect, injectors are shot
(It) may be barely running but it’s all that we’ve got
(She’s) supposed to pick me up at quarter ‘til 8
(But if she’s) gonna take Damen, then she’s gonna be late
CHORUS
VERSE 3
Back in the kitchen, scrubbing some pots
Off at 3am, if I’m ready or not
Last call sounds, start raising the lights
(I’m) washing dishes now but once my future was bright
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Not right now, like my best of days
Shiny silk suits and that dancing craze
(I had a) lotta good friends; we had a real good time
(STOP) Eating hash and (STOP) drinking wine
CHORUS
VERSE 4
Tests coming back, not looking so good
Doing lots of stuff except the stuff that it should
Doctor going on about the stage of my ills
(But the) only thing I’m thinking’s, “How to pay for the bills?”
CHORUS
