Intro

Lately things ain't been going my way

 Consequently I've been drinking nearly every day

 It's hard to keep your head up when they're knocking you down

 So I been making that all go round

 Drinking bottom shelf bourbon to ease my mind

 Seems to work alright 'till closing time

 But you know you're gunna come down every night

 And there ain't no way you'll ever feel satisfied

Ain't that hard to figure where to begin

 It's Friday night so I'm rushing in

 Like a fool I get it anywhere I can

Well I'm having a hard time Walking a straight line

Seeing two of every single neon sign, Well now

You'll find me downtown Gracefully facedown

 Just wishing I could feel alright

Lately I've been wanderin' around with eyes closed

 It seems like I been heading down the wrong road

I thought I'd find my way by now

 But I still got lost somehow

 You see shots fall down from Heaven above,

 You might lose a friend you might fall in love,

 But you know you're gunna come down every night,

 And there ain't no way you'll ever feel satisfied

Six in the morning 'till your dying day,

 It's straight bad news and bills to pay,

 But come five o'clock you're feeling good again

Well I'm having a hard time Walking a straight line

Seeing two of every single neon sign, Well now

You'll find me downtown Gracefully facedown

 Just wishing I could feel alright

 Well I been so high I hit my head on the ground,

 Sat up on the floor seems the room spin around,

 But when you squint real hard through the bottom of the bottle,

 Things really don't look so bad.

 You drink a cheap malt liquor from a 40 oz bottle

Hit some bourbon, (smoke 'em) if you've got 'em,**

 But you know you're gunna come down every night,

 And there ain't no way you'll ever feel satisfied,

 The years of my life I don't remember at all,

 Like one Friday evening I can barely recall,

 It was a sick situation in a bar room bathroom stall

Well I'm having a hard time Walking a straight line

Seeing two of every single neon sign, Well now

You'll find me downtown Gracefully facedown

 Just wishing I could feel alright

 Yea, I'm wishing I could feel alright

 Yea, I'm wishing I could feel alright

Outro

**TDM3 sing the line "Hit the bourbon, some pills if you've got 'em" -

But I prefer my slight alteration. ;)

I'm a big fan of accurate, legible, and neatly formatted charts that are

typically true to studio versions, with noted exceptions.
