i can’t sit down, i can’t sit still,
my glass for long, it won’t stay filled,
i’m thinking everything i say, is profound in some way,
i slow down, i’m talking fast,
i try and act like i’ve got class,
then the room it starts to spin,
i take a sip and i grin.
i say goodbye to my life here with my old friends,
i’ll drink away the memories, sure “this’ll never end,”
i hate myself now because i believed you then,
life’s in extra innings there’s no one in the ‘pen,
and i know yeah i know, i know, know, know, know, know,
you’ll regret this all before too long,
(you’ll regret this all before too long),
you’ll regret this all by the time i’m done singing this song.
i wouldn’t have left you high and dry,
you shoulda banked on me, you shoulda banked on me,
sickening feeling in your side,
you shoulda banked on me, you shoulda banked on me,
lion has no land without his pride,
you shoulda banked on me, you shoulda banked on me,
lost alone within the night.
i almost wish we had some fight, on some drive all through the night,
back where i could point the blame, i’d say things ”never were the same,”
now i’m drinking double time, i’ve got knob creek on my mind,
spy face says he’s doing “fine,” we clink our glasses one more time.
reminisce about the times i’m trying so hard to forget,
i thought things were going goof, they should not have ended yet,
been drinking for awhile it’s hard not to get upset,
i’m mixing up my words, ready, go, set,
i’m home alone again so i sing,
i sing along to songs on the radio.
