There's trouble down on main street
And all the lights are out
I'll be home in a few
I'm takin' a different route
I'm puttin' out these fires
And givin' it my best
Feels like the only thing i ever win
Is a shit eating contest
So babe do you think it'd be alright
If I tied one on tonight
Like my forefahters did on days ending in "Y"
Do the serve liquor here
Gonna need something stronger than beer
I'm dealin' with it mama, just not tonight
Peter ain't got enough to pay Paul
The dog pissed on the floor
I've paid up all the bills
But the state wants a little more
Got all ten fingers in the dam
But the storm clouds are rollin' in
I'm hangin' on by a thread
Tommorow I do it all over again
So babe do you think it'd be alright
If I tied one on tonight
Like my forefahters did on days ending in "Y"
Do the serve liquor here
Gonna need something stronger than beer
I'm dealin' with it mama, just not tonight
The house never seems to lose
Got these middle age, middle class blues
Monday mornin' I'll be alright
I'll firgure it out, just not tonight
The A/C's on the fritz
Seems like everything I own is broke
The world is going to hell
The savings gone up in smoke
I try to go to sleep
But tomorrow's comin' like a train
I can close my eyes
But I can't shut off my brain
If I tied one on tonight
Like my forefahters did on days ending in "Y"
Do the serve liquor here
Gonna need something stronger than beer
I'm dealin' with it mama, just not tonight
