I've been drinking all through summer
I guess I've had a laugh
I've had every kind of fun I could have
had
Looking at my crowd tonight
There's a sober kind of sparkle
in their eyes
That I don't like
'Cause everybody knows
she ain't coming back
The buttons on my clothes
are as plain to see as that
I'm a man of repu - tation
in this rocker's town
I have lived it up so long
I'll never live it down
Every back room bed I've made
Every allnight thrill room - service
bill I've paid
Looks cheap to - day
'Cause everybody knows
she ain't coming back
The buttons on my clothes
are as plain to see as that
Yet everybody knows
she ain't coming back
The buttons on my clothes
are as plain to see as that
I took a chemical va - cation
in my head
But now I'm back here at the station
with a trunk of re - gre - t
Thought I found myself a frequency
be - yond her voice
But the memories keep breaking through the
noise
So brother, send a ship for me
before I wash u - pon
the shore of clari - ty
And I can see
That everybody knows
she ain't coming back
The buttons on my clothes
are as plain to see as that
Yeah, everwhere I go,
there are ghosts of what I had
Like the buttons on my clothes,
they are everywhere I'm at
Yeah everybody knows
(she ain't coming back)
everybody knows
(she ain't coming back)
START FADING
everybody knows
(she ain't coming back)
everwhere I go
