Well he wakes up, nice and dry
Hears the cars and trucks above him rollin by
He lights a cig?Takes a swig
He does this everyday
Wife and kids?.weren?t enough
Started running round?drinking way too much
Takin pills? chasing thrills
Till he lost everything
Somedays he?s sober long enough to feel regret
But he?ll find a bottle and it won?t last
Cause he can?t bear the thought of what it took to get
From what he had to what he has
Under the Overpass
Verse
He prefers?.sunshine to rain
Cause the liquor store?s half a mile away
But folks give more?on days it pours
So it works out either way
Somedays he?s sober long enough to feel regret
But he?ll find a bottle and it won?t last
Cause he can?t bear the thought of what it took to get
From what he had to what he has
Under the Overpass
Instrumental (Am-G-C)
He?s just biding time?the only way he knows
Numbing pain he can?t get past
He?ll be there until he?s got somewhere to go.
But who knows how long he has
Verse
Well he wakes up, nice and dry
Hears the cars and trucks above him rollin by
He lights a cig?Takes a swig
He does this everyday
